The listing's square footage against the county assessor's record and the permits on file.
The listing and the county record agree within 10%.
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.
Our Los Gatos permit record starts in 2020. Work permitted before then will not appear above.
AddressIntel AI Briefing
This massive 2.4-acre Los Gatos lot features a relatively modern 2001 home, but the landslide designation acts as a major blocker for extensive earthwork. Instead of a risky teardown, the optimal path is a 'stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU' play that capitalizes on the 100/100 ADU feasibility while preserving the existing foundation. Active local high-value permit activity underscores strong developer appetite in the surrounding area.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~469 ft frontage × 980 ft deep, a tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway. 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.
Seller Motivation
Inferred from days on market and listing-description language (e.g. "as-is", "estate sale", "motivated seller"). A screening heuristic for likely negotiability, not a statement about the seller's circumstances.
Redevelopment Potential
Meaningful unused floor-area headroom under current zoning, room to add square footage. Zoning allows roughly 15,878 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR rule curated from current municipal code. Source: Los Gatos Town Code 29.40.075 (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 15,878 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 Los Gatos (95032): $1,168/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. No size-matched sales in Los Gatos, so this median mixes build sizes and reads high for a large rebuild.
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.
Projected Profit
Warning: Margin is tight for the construction risk.
