East Palo Alto Xavier St - CRITICAL ARV VALIDATION REQUIRED
📍 2719 Xavier St, East Palo Alto, CA 94303
💰 Purchase: $1,000,000 | Software ARV: $2,877,000 | Realistic ARV: $1,850K-$2,100K
🏠 Property: 7BR/4BA (Main + Garage + ADU), 1,710 SF, Built 1953
🏦 Profit Range: -$739K to +$831K depending on ARV validation
The ARV Crisis:
Location Pricing Reality | |
|---|---|
East Palo Alto Average | $873/SF |
Palo Alto/Menlo Park Average | $2,129/SF |
Premium Gap | $1,256/SF |
Software Shows | $2,877K ($1,683/SF) |
Reality Check | $1,850K-$2,100K |
Three Scenarios:
ARV Level | Price/SF | Profit | ROI | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Conservative | $950/SF ($1.625M) | -$739K | N/A | DISASTER ❌ |
Realistic | $1,082/SF ($1.85M) | $476K | 366% | GOOD ✅ |
Optimistic | $1,228/SF ($2.1M) | $713K | 549% | EXCELLENT ✅✅ |
Critical Issue: Software uses Palo Alto pricing for East Palo Alto property creating $400K-$1.2M ARV variance
Complex Configuration: 7 beds across 3 structures (main house + converted garage + ADU) limits buyer pool requiring multi-generational family or investor
MANDATORY Pre-Close: Hire local East Palo Alto realtor for broker price opinion validating minimum $1,850K ARV, verify all garage conversion and ADU permits legal
Risk Level: EXTREME - Entire deal viability depends on ARV validation, 40% variance range, built 1953 hidden issues likely
Recommendation: DO NOT PROCEED until local realtor confirms $1,850K minimum ARV, then offer asking $1,000K maximum
