For builders & developers
Land worth building a Relic on.
Relic homes are priced above a typical spec build — the design, the materials, and the construction complexity all run higher than a standard-issue new build. That only pencils out on a site where the surrounding land value already supports it. Below is a working sample of real, currently-listed parcels across a handful of established premium markets, each scored against that specific question: would a buyer here pay for a Relic?
How the Relic Fit score works
Each parcel is scored 0–100 across three factors, then given a plain-language rationale — never just a number with no explanation.
Location premium (0–40). Price per acre as a proxy for what buyers in that spot already pay — the closer a site is to land that supports $2M+ finished homes, the higher this scores.
Buildable lot suitability (0–30).Sized right for one gracious single-family footprint — roughly 0.15 to 1.5 acres scores highest; much larger or smaller parcels score lower, since they either dilute the site or can't fit the program.
Location desirability (0–30). A hand read of the listing itself — waterfront, walkability to a town or beach center, named prestige streets, entitlement or permitting already in progress.
80+ is Prime fit, 60–79 Strong fit, 40–59 Speculative, under 40 Poor fit (not shown here). This is a heuristic to help you prioritize your own diligence, not a substitute for it — verify zoning, utilities, and title yourself before making an offer.
