AddressIntel AI Briefing
While SB 9 is not applicable, the R2 zoning and massive 9,583 sqft lot make a duplex development the optimal play. Since the existing 1953 home is already in turnkey condition, developers can also opt for stealth density to preserve the high-value primary structure.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 7 recent multi-family sales in San Jose (95124): $698/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,300 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.
