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 41,818 sqft lot presents a premier teardown-and-mansionize opportunity to construct a palatial estate up to 16,727 sqft. While a landslide zone risk serves as a blocker requiring significant engineering soft costs, the sheer scale of the potential ARV yield delivers an exceptional theoretical ROI.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Standard lot · Corner lot · ~198 ft frontage × 325 ft deep, typical proportions for a detached ADU behind or beside the 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.
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
Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. Zoning allows roughly 6,273 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 6,273 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 (95030): $1,020/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 6,300 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.
