The Problem
Is an ADU worth itfor my property?
That is the question every San Diego homeowner asks. Nobody answers it well.
Builder sites want your phone number so they can sell you a project. Generic calculators ask you for the numbers, then repeat them back. National tools cost $200/mo and know nothing about San Diego. CasitaScore pulls real local data and gives you a straight answer for your lot.

Actual ADU permits issued in your neighborhood from the City of San Diego.
Neighborhood Intel

How is the CasitaScore calculated?
Your CasitaScore uses a 5-factor model: permit momentum, rental income strength, cost-to-rent ratio, local market conditions, and property fit. Each draws from real San Diego data, not national averages.
Is CasitaScore just a generic ADU calculator?
No. Generic calculators ask you for estimates. CasitaScore pulls actual permit data, crime stats, school ratings, transit access, and market data, then uses AI to interpret what it all means for your specific property.
How accurate are the rental estimates?
We use HUD Fair Market Rents for your ZIP code, adjusted by Walk Score and neighborhood desirability. These reflect the most recent published federal data for San Diego County.
Can I share my report?
Yes. Every report has a unique URL. The free preview is always visible. Full report access requires purchase.
