## Why prices should grow about 8.7% a year
- + 6.0%: Start with 6.0% a year: the normal long-run growth of Bengaluru home prices.
- + 0.9%: Add 0.9%: prices here rose 11.9% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.6%: Subtract 0.6%: at ₹23,100 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 1.3%: Add 1.3%: 2 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.9%: Add 0.9%: few unsold homes in the area (11 months of stock), so sellers have the upper hand.
- + 0.2%: Add 0.2% for new roads, metro and water lines, weighted by how likely they are to actually finish: Yellow Line RV Road–Bommasandra (opened Aug 2025) (operational, 2025); Phase 3 (Orange/Red lines: JP Nagar–Kempapura, Hosahalli–Kadabagere) (construction, 2029).
- + 0.0%: No extra project-level adjustment.
- = 8.7%: Result: about 8.7% a year, so a home worth ₹9.46 Cr today would be worth about ₹14.37 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹7.92 Cr. Exit value in year 8: ₹17.91 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹12.04 Cr. Net rent after running costs: ₹80.9 L. Loan: ₹7.09 Cr (EMI ₹6.2 L per month). All-in cost: ₹10.49 Cr (other charges ₹32.0 L, GST ₹0.0 L, stamp duty and registration ₹62.4 L, interiors ₹31.6 L).

## Exit plans compared
- No interiors, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 6.8%, net-wealth CAGR 5.0%, cash in ₹7.73 Cr, net rent ₹65.8 L, net sale ₹12.02 Cr. Best IRR.
- Do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 6.4%, net-wealth CAGR 4.7%, cash in ₹7.92 Cr, net rent ₹80.9 L, net sale ₹12.04 Cr.
