What can explain a difference
- Space built without a permit.
- Permitted work the assessor has not recorded yet.
- An ADU, a finished basement or a converted garage counted in one figure and not the other.
- Different measuring. Listing agents and the assessor often measure the same house differently.
AddressIntel AI Briefing
A stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU play adding accessory units is the optimal choice for this updated home, as a full teardown is constrained by high lot coverage and liquefaction hazards. Geotechnical requirements due to the liquefaction zone will increase foundation engineering costs, which dampens redevelopment margins. The stable, highly owner-occupied neighborhood makes a long-term rental hold the most viable angle.

ADU Potential
Deep lot · Corner lot · ~54 ft frontage × 104 ft deep, room to set a detached ADU back from the street with a buffer, reads as a separate home. A second street frontage lets an ADU take its own entrance and address.
Screening heuristic based on lot size, existing coverage, lot orientation, and hazard overlays. CA ADU law is ministerial statewide; verify max size, setbacks, and JADU owner-occupancy with the local planning dept.
Redevelopment Potential
Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. Zoning allows roughly 2,614 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,614 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 San Mateo (94401): $834/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,600 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.
