AddressIntel AI Briefing

There is no viable development play here; the modern 2016 structure should be maintained as-is. A tight lot size of under 3,500 square feet restricts ADU expansion, and the current asking price sits above the size-matched comps for the immediate area, ruling out a profitable flip or lot split.

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~80 ft frontage × 95 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.

Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. Zoning allows roughly 1,568 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator

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

Zoning allows roughly 1,568 sqft here, less than the 1,600 sqft standing today, so a compliant rebuild would be smaller than the existing house. We don't quote a return on this one. Demolishing generally forfeits the existing non-conforming floor area, so treat it as a remodel or check the local code for what it lets you rebuild.

Median of 12 recent single-family sales in San Jose (95125): $1,072/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 1,600 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.

Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
