## Why prices should grow about 9.4% a year
- + 6.0%: Start with 6.0% a year: the normal long-run growth of Bengaluru home prices.
- + 0.7%: Add 0.7%: prices here rose 11.1% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.2%: Subtract 0.2%: at ₹15,500 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 1.2%: Add 1.2%: 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 (13 months of stock), so sellers have the upper hand.
- + 0.1%: Add 0.1% for new roads, metro and water lines, weighted by how likely they are to actually finish: Phase 3 (Orange/Red lines: JP Nagar–Kempapura, Hosahalli–Kadabagere) (construction, 2029).
- + 0.7%: Add 0.7% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 9.4%: Result: about 9.4% a year, so a home worth ₹4.36 Cr today would be worth about ₹6.83 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹3.82 Cr. Exit value in year 8: ₹8.49 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹5.67 Cr. Net rent after running costs: ₹54.6 L. Loan: ₹3.44 Cr (EMI ₹3.0 L per month). All-in cost: ₹5.20 Cr (other charges ₹14.8 L, GST ₹21.8 L, stamp duty and registration ₹28.8 L, interiors ₹32.6 L).

## Exit plans compared
- Sell at handover, no interiors (1 years): IRR -19.0%, net-wealth CAGR -19.0%, cash in ₹1.45 Cr, net rent ₹2.4 L, net sale ₹1.51 Cr.
- Hold bare, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 7.1%, net-wealth CAGR 5.2%, cash in ₹3.57 Cr, net rent ₹45.4 L, net sale ₹5.64 Cr. Best IRR.
- Hold, do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 5.8%, net-wealth CAGR 4.4%, cash in ₹3.82 Cr, net rent ₹54.6 L, net sale ₹5.67 Cr.
