How we got these numbers

Can't tell yet: it costs about $550,000, but demolition of the existing building is not priced yet (no local cost). Enter a demolition cost to see whether it pencils.

Ranges come from each input's documented range; the “likely” figure uses the defaults. Rent to the nearest $50, sale price to $5,000 a home, cost lines to $1,000, totals to $10,000 — the math uses the rounded numbers. The profit (or gap), margin and yield ranges combine the cost and value ranges as independent uncertainties: each side moves by the square root of (value change² + cost change²), so a low value is not paired with a high cost.

New-construction comps: insufficient — 2 sales within 3 mi · median $465,000 · $198/SF · 2,202 sq ft · built 2023–2024 · sold 2025-02-27 to 2025-09-24

Search: 0 within 0.25 mi → 0 within 0.5 mi → 1 within 1 mi → 2 within 2 mi → 2 within 3 mi.

Insufficient new-construction comps in this market tier or lower: 2 sale(s) (0 within 0.25 mi; 0 within 0.5 mi; 1 within 1 mi; 2 within 2 mi; 2 within 3 mi); richer markets nearby are not used. The value from them is indicative only (low confidence).

Rule: sales in the same neighborhood (or municipality) when it has 5+; otherwise sales from areas in the same market tier or lower (never a richer market), else the nearest by distance; widen until 8, keep the nearest 12; drop sales beyond 1.5× the middle-half spread of $/SF. Market tier: Friendship has too few existing-home sales for a tier, so it borrows the median of its nearest areas (Garfield, East Liberty, Bloomfield): $185/SF; comps were limited to areas priced the same or up to 35% lower ($120–$185/SF existing-home median; Assumption, edit me; never a richer market). New homes sell above existing-home medians, so the comps' own $198/SF is above this band; the band compares neighborhoods, not the comps' prices. Even areas priced no higher than $185/SF have fewer than 5 new-home sales, so no value is estimated from richer markets nearby. Size: too few sales within ±40% of the planned 2,210 sq ft, so all sizes were used. Result: 2 sales from the areas in the same market tier or lower, in Larimer, Polish Hill; median $198/SF, middle half $168–$229/SF.

Older homes nearby sold for a median $160 per sq ft (22 sales within 0.25 mi). That is a floor, not the value of a new home.

The sales (2 of 2) · sale-revenue confidence Low

Comparable new-construction sales, block-level addresses
Block	Sold	Price	Sq ft	$/SF	Mi
1–99 block of Mayflower St	2025-09-24	$240,000	1,742	$138	0.94
3000 block of Paulowna St	2025-02-27	$690,000	2,662	$259	1.84

The most similar sales are 1–99 block of Mayflower St and 3000 block of Paulowna St at $138–$259/SF. Fewer than 5 new-construction sales qualify, so the value from them (median $198/SF) is indicative only (low confidence).

Shown: the 2 most similar of the 2 sales in the value set, detached homes first, then nearest, then most recent sale. The median and middle half below use all 2. Addresses show the block only; the PDF report lists full street addresses.

Cost: land $14,000 + construction $420,000 + street occupancy and staging $3,000 + water and sewer laterals $10,000 + design and engineering $17,000 + contingency $43,000 + loan interest $15,000 + closing, permit and carrying costs $25,000 = $550,000 total.
Value: $198/SF × 2,210 sq ft = $438,659 per home, rounded to $440,000; × 1 home = $440,000 in sales.
Profit: $440,000 sales − $550,000 total cost − $11,000 selling costs = $121,000 short (a loss of 22.0% of cost).
