East San Jose / Mayfair, San Jose home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of East San Jose / Mayfair houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

East San Jose, from Mayfair out along Alum Rock Avenue to the foothills, is mostly small single-story homes from the 1940s through the 1960s, many with rooms added, garages converted or a second unit in back. I value homes here after a parent dies, in divorces and before family buyouts, when relatives need a fair number to divide or buy out a house quickly.

What I look at in East San Jose / Mayfair

  1. 1

    Many lots here are deep enough for a backyard cottage or a new ADU, and when one is permitted I look for sales that also had a second unit rather than simply adding square footage.

  2. 2

    Some streets near Alum Rock Park and the East Foothills sit in unincorporated county pockets, so permits and records may live with the county instead of the city, and I check both.

  3. 3

    Up toward the foothills, lots get larger and some homes look out over the valley, and I keep those sales apart from the flat blocks around Story Road and King Road.

What to photograph

Photograph every room including the converted garage or back unit, the outside of each addition, the driveway and parking, and the back yard. If you're up in the foothills, add the view and the slope.

East San Jose / Mayfair questions

Does our unpermitted garage conversion in East San Jose count in the appraisal?
I describe it and show it in photos, but I don't count it as permitted living area. Buyers here do pay something for a finished room, so I look for nearby sales with similar conversions to measure that, and I note that a buyer would also lose the garage parking.
My parents left us their house off Alum Rock, how do we split it fairly?
Start with one value everyone trusts. I appraise the house, using sales from the blocks around it, as of the date of death or as of today, whichever your attorney or the trust calls for, and every heir gets the same report to work from.
When would I get the report for a East San Jose / Mayfair home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
