ARV support: 414 Yarmouth Rd (Budleigh) sold Jun 2026 $452/SF; 1510 Canterbury Rd sold Apr 2026 $448/SF; 909 Oberlin Rd (adjacent area) active 2026 new construction $476/SF — new-build commands a premium over resale. Modeling $470/SF for a 2027 delivery on this CCC-facing address. MAO $461,000 — asking price $479,000 is $18k over; offer $455–461k for clean 20%+ margin at base ARV.

Diligence Gates
GO: Public water/sewer confirmed; lot cleared and surveyed; R-6 zoning in place; basement potential noted; no HOA visible; adjacent Copper Builders new construction confirms luxury market demand. VERIFY: Pull Wake County GIS parcel map — confirm lot dimensions and R-6 setbacks support 3,600+ SF footprint; verify no recorded deed restrictions or historic overlay in Budleigh; soil/bearing test for basement feasibility; confirm listing is still active (last updated Aug 7, 2026). STOP: If recorded covenants restrict height, design, or builder selection; if setback math limits buildable SF below 3,000; if environmental or easement issues discovered on parcel.
Verdict

Strong GOOD — take this one seriously. Offer $455–461k and build a 3,600 SF luxury home for an investor: net ~$338k (20% margin, ~97% COC). At $479k ask you still net ~$320k (18.9% margin, 92% COC) — the $18k premium over MAO is recoverable with modest ARV improvement or if comps run toward the $476/SF Oberlin Rd new-construction comp. At $500/SF upside: $420k net, 23.3% margin, 120% COC. Home On builds at $140/SF luxury cost; investor sees $630k construction price, $37,500 site dev, and keeps the $50,400 contingency if unused. This address — Budleigh, across from CCC, adjacent confirmed custom builds — is exactly the product that trades at a premium in this market.
