Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~113 ft frontage × 126 ft deep, limited depth, an ADU likely sits beside the house rather than behind it. 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
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
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 7,475 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. City sets no explicit FAR (or is not individually curated); allowable area is a conservative estimate. Source: Santa Clara City Code Ch. 18.12 (R1-6L) — no FAR; 40% coverage, 25ft/2-story (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
We don't hold this jurisdiction's floor-area rule, so the default builds to roughly 7,475 sqft from a conservative 0.40 FAR approximation, a starting point and not a zoning answer. Check the local code before you rely on it.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Santa Clara (95051): $1,393/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. No size-matched sales in Santa Clara, so this median mixes build sizes and reads high for a large rebuild.
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.
