Sheet rock installation is complete. Exterior stucco is complete. Texturing and taping is almost done. The recent warm weather will help accelerate the drying of drywall compound. Next week, we can possibly start cabinet, tile/stone installation once the sheet rock is completely dry.

PG&E is there today to hook up electricity. This has traditionally been a big risk factor in finishing the home on time. We are happy that this risk factor has been removed.

Finally, we have secured a potential buyer for the home. The contract is in place, and will close once occupancy permit is approved by the city. Tentative date is 4/7/2016 - one month ahead of schedule! Please keep this confidential, as well all other communication in the weekly update, as we don't want to jeopardize the deal.

We are pleased to announce that 1230 Larnel Pl. closed on Mar 3rd with a total funding of $805,000. You should expect to receive your first monthly payment by April 15th and this will cover the period from 03/03/15 to 04/10/15. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you.
  • We will be building a 4500 sqft home plus 2 car garage.
  • This being a creek side lot, there are additional set of regulations we have to comply with - e-g- 25 feet setback from top of the creek bank. So the layout and the floor plan has changed from what the architect had proposed earlier. We've attached the updated site plans, floor plans and front elevations. The guest unit is no longer detached. Also we have reduced one bedroom - so there are only 5 bedrooms total instead of 6 earlier as it allowed for an overall better design and flow of the house.
  • We are waiting on the Planning Department for their approval of the plans after we addressed their comments from first round of review. Once we get planning approval, we will be submitting to Building department.

Overall we are on schedule as we had expected 4-6 months to get the permit.
We received City of Los Altos Planning Department approval to submit to Building Department yesterday. Next step is to submit with Building Department which we will be doing this coming Monday 06/01/2015.
We received first round of comments from Building Dept on our plans in first week of July and were able to turn it around and resubmit for 2nd round of review on July 9th.

We are expecting to receive building permit within next 2-4 weeks. As soon as we get the building permit, we plan to start the construction.

The market has been up since we bought the property in March 2015. So, while we are waiting for the building permit, we are exploring the possibility of selling the existing home along with the architectural plans. We have listed the property on MLS at $2.99M and plan to keep it on sale only for another 1-2 weeks (while we wait for building permit).

Couple of points:
  • Market is up, so we are exploring if we can sell existing home that we bought along with plans for the originally projected profits if not more. If we are able to get the list price, it would mean better than originally projected profits in half the projected time frame.
  • We have not started construction, nor have we taken on construction financing, that's why the cost is much lower and hence the lower $/sqft on list price.

Foundation is being poured today. Site is almost ready for framing.
