ARV support: 402 Chavis Way (27601, same Chavis Park area) SOLD Aug 25 2025 at $710,000 / 1,763 SF = $403/SF. 414 Chavis Way active at $724,900–$732,000 / 1,764 SF = $411–$415/SF.

Diligence Gates
GO: Public sewer on site; RX-3 already entitles townhomes; plans available; price cut 107 DOM indicates motivated seller; strong anchor comps within 0.3 mi. VERIFY: Confirm plans are approved/permitted vs. conceptual; verify exact unit count RX-3 allows on 0.68 ac; confirm no platting or HOA restrictions on corner lot; pull Wake County CAMA to validate tax assessment vs list; check city stormwater/drainage for corner lot. STOP: Any deed restriction limiting building type or density; floodplain or drainage encumbrance on corner lot.
Verdict

107 days on market with a $15K price cut signals a seller who needs to move. The Chavis Park townhome market has delivered $403–$415/SF on comparable product. At $710K/unit × 4 units = $2.84M revenue, the investor nets ~$707,382 (24.9% margin, 127% cash-on-cash on $559K out-of-pocket). MAO is $684K — the ask at $575K leaves strong cushion. If plans are permit-ready, this is a compress-the-timeline play: make an offer this week.
