AddressIntel AI Briefing

A textbook SB 9 lot split into multiple units represents the absolute best play for this 103-year-old, highly underutilized lot. Backed by zero hazard blockers, massive local comps up to $3M, and listing keywords actively calling for a rebuild, the redevelopment margins here are unmatched.

ADU Potential

Max ADU Units2 (ADU + JADU)
Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage17.8%

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~105 ft frontage × 131 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

Motivation Score15/100
Low motivation
Sold as-is

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

Redevelopment Score63/100
ClassTeardown candidate
FAR Utilization39% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+1,661 sqft

Small, older home using a low share of the allowable building envelope on a sizable lot, a scrape-and-rebuild or major-expansion play. Zoning allows roughly 2,744 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap. Treat as approximate. Source: SJMC 20.30.200; 20.100.1020 (Single-Family House Permit) (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 2,744 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 95125: $1,067/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,700 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.
