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 Menlo Park permit record starts in 2017. Work permitted before then will not appear above.
AddressIntel AI Briefing
The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU, utilizing a high-end luxury renovation of the spacious existing structure instead of a teardown. A full scrape is financially unviable here due to the tight spread between the high purchase price and the local new build ceiling. The highly affluent Menlo Park demographic ensures strong demand for updated properties.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Menlo Park (94025): $2,130/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 4,200 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.
Projected Profit
Warning: Margin is tight for the construction risk.
