Development upside

What is my land worth?

Your land is worth what can be built on it — not just what the house standing there sells for today. Zoning, lot size, and California laws like SB 9 set that ceiling, which is why a developer may value your Sacramento lot very differently than any comp-based estimate. HABU screens that gap.

The four-path view

HABU compares ADU, SB 9 lot split, SB 684 small-lot infill, and redevelopment pathways.

Why a range beats a promise

The right early answer is a conservative range and confidence level, not a hard offer or guaranteed payout.

One property, three practical paths

Compare improving, splitting, and selling before committing money to one property path.

1

We improve it

Add an ADU or build additional units on your lot. You keep the property — it is worth more and can earn rent.

We handle it. The headache is permits, design, and construction — we run all of it. The build can often be financed against the value it creates (HELOC, renovation, or construction-to-perm), so your equity may help you qualify rather than cash up front.
2

We split it

Carve off part of your lot under SB 9 or SB 684 and keep your home. You share in the new value instead of selling out.

We handle it. The headache is title, survey, and subdivision — we handle it and can carry the cost. Your land becomes your equity in the deal, so you keep a share of the upside instead of cashing out.
3

We buy it

Prefer a clean exit? We buy the property outright and handle everything from there.

We handle it. No headache and no financing on your side — it becomes ours. You get paid and walk away.
Every option carries its own headaches and financing — and we take both on. The free check shows which ones your lot may qualify for. The full report is free during beta testing and compares the published pathway estimates. A report is not an offer.

Questions owners ask

Is developer value the same as market value?

No. Market value prices the home as-is; developer value looks at what the land could support after rules, costs, and risk.

Does HABU buy homes?

HABU can route qualified owners to the right next step, including Nimble or partner execution, but the report itself is not an offer.
