Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Standard lot · Corner lot · ~39 ft frontage × 49 ft deep, typical proportions for a detached ADU behind or beside the home. 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
SB 79 preempts the limit these figures are measured against. This parcel sits within a half mile of a qualifying transit stop in a city that adopted the state standards, so state law overrides the local height and density caps and the governing envelope is a multifamily one, substantially larger than the city's single-family allowance. Read the score, class and headroom above as describing the municipal rule only, not this parcel's ceiling. Confirm the city's adopted SB 79 implementation before underwriting.
Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. The city’s single-family rule allows roughly 906 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit, which SB 79 preempts on this parcel. 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.

SB 79 governs this parcel. It sits within a half mile of a qualifying transit stop in a city that adopted the state standards, so state law preempts the local height and density limits and the real ceiling here is a multifamily one, well above what the city's single-family rule allows. The figures below model a detached rebuild, which is not the play on this lot — we don't quote a return on it. Check the city's adopted SB 79 implementation before you underwrite.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Santa Clara (95051): $1,100/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. 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.
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.
