AddressIntel AI Briefing
Situated in an affluent Los Gatos pocket with premium comps exceeding $2,000/sqft, this property is a prime candidate for a high-end luxury remodel rather than a costly teardown. Despite flat permit activity and potential wildland-urban interface hazard risks, the massive pricing spread to top-tier neighborhood sales supports strong flip margins.

Seller Motivation

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Los Gatos (95030): $1,075/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 4,500 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.
