AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is a stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU development utilizing AB 1033 pathways. High asking prices compared to theoretical zip code averages restrict full teardown-and-mansionize viability. Developers should execute targeted cosmetic remodels to align with neighboring high-end comps.
