/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 345 W 3RD ST

The short answers.

When did 345 W 3rd St last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded July 2004. Not every recorded transfer is a market sale — refinances, trust transfers, and family conveyances all appear in the same field, and those do not reset the assessed value.

What is 345 W 3rd St assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $738,358 ($738,095 land, $263 improvements). Assessed value is not market value. Under Proposition 13 it resets only on a change of ownership and then climbs about 2% a year, so a long-held building is often assessed far below what it would trade for — and this one has held its base year for roughly 32 years.

Would the owner of 345 W 3rd St face a big tax bill on a sale?

Possibly. A base year going back roughly 32 years usually means a low tax basis, and a low basis means a large taxable gain on a straight sale — capital gains plus depreciation recapture, with California taxing gains at ordinary income rates. It is also why long-held buildings so often sell through a 1031 exchange instead, or pass through an estate for the step-up in basis.

How do I find out what 345 W 3rd St would sell for today?

Public records give you the frame — units, size, age, assessed value, when it last traded — but pricing needs in-place rents, expenses, and the condition of the units, none of which appear in county data. A broker valuation puts closed comps and a rent survey against the actual rent roll. Shaya Lowenstein does that free for LA multifamily owners, typically within 48 hours, with no obligation to list.
