With an active plan check for alteration already underway, the optimal play is a stealth density approach (primary + ADU + JADU) to build on this momentum. There are no environmental blockers, making construction straightforward and highly predictable. This strategy maximizes rental yield in a premier, tightly held Los Gatos enclave.

Proforma ROI Calculator

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

Zoning allows roughly 2,081 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): $1,248/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,100 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.
