## Why prices should grow about 9.1% 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.
- + 0.0%: Prices are still affordable enough that this does not slow growth.
- + 1.2%: Add 1.2%: 3 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.9%: Add 0.9%: few unsold homes in the area (9 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: Pink Line Kalena Agrahara–Nagawara (construction, 2027); Phase 3 (Orange/Red lines: JP Nagar–Kempapura, Hosahalli–Kadabagere) (construction, 2029).
- + 0.0%: No extra project-level adjustment.
- = 9.1%: Result: about 9.1% a year, so a home worth ₹1.71 Cr today would be worth about ₹2.64 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹1.40 Cr. Exit value in year 8: ₹3.29 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹2.23 Cr. Net rent after running costs: ₹25.3 L. Loan: ₹1.28 Cr (EMI ₹1.1 L per month). All-in cost: ₹1.96 Cr (other charges ₹5.8 L, GST ₹0.0 L, stamp duty and registration ₹11.3 L, interiors ₹12.0 L).

## Exit plans compared
- No interiors, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 8.2%, net-wealth CAGR 6.1%, cash in ₹1.32 Cr, net rent ₹21.0 L, net sale ₹2.22 Cr. Best IRR.
- Do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 7.0%, net-wealth CAGR 5.4%, cash in ₹1.40 Cr, net rent ₹25.3 L, net sale ₹2.23 Cr.
