AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU, building upon the existing, fully updated mid-century home. An SB 9 lot split is legally possible, but the compact lot size makes a physical subdivision tight to execute cleanly. Preserving the renovated structure and maximizing accessory dwelling potential avoids heavy construction risks while capturing high demand in a tech hub.

Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Zoning allows roughly 2,156 sqft on this lot, and the default builds to that envelope. The FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap.

Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Sunnyvale (94086): $1,485/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,200 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.

Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.

Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
