AddressIntel AI Briefing

While the century-old age profile normally screams teardown, the property has been fully remodeled, making a stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU approach the most lucrative play. Developers can preserve the high-value renovated home while exploiting the generous lot and outstanding ADU feasibility to build secondary income streams. There are no environmental blockers, ensuring a smooth path for ministerial permits in a premier Los Gatos neighborhood.

Proforma ROI Calculator

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

Zoning allows roughly 2,566 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 (95030): $1,495/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,600 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.
