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.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~120 ft frontage × 140 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.
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 3,870 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap. Treat as approximate. Source: Saratoga City Code 15-45.030 (R-1-10,000 default; district unresolved) (as of 2026-08-24). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 3,870 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 Saratoga (95070): $1,520/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 3,900 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.
