## Why prices should grow about 9.3% a year
- + 6.0%: Start with 6.0% a year: the normal long-run growth of Bengaluru home prices.
- + 1.0%: Add 1.0%: prices here rose 12.9% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.2%: Subtract 0.2%: at ₹8,000 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 1.8%: Add 1.8%: 6 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.0%: Supply and demand are balanced here (16 months of unsold stock).
- + 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); Blue Line KR Puram–Hebbal–Airport (construction, 2027).
- + 0.4%: Add 0.4% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 9.3%: Result: about 9.3% a year, so a home worth ₹62.5 L today would be worth about ₹97.4 L in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹53.9 L. Exit value in year 8: ₹1.23 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹82.9 L. Net rent after running costs: ₹14.1 L. Loan: ₹49.2 L (EMI ₹0.4 L per month). All-in cost: ₹78.8 L (other charges ₹2.1 L, GST ₹3.1 L, stamp duty and registration ₹4.1 L, interiors ₹9.1 L).

## Exit plans compared
- Sell at handover, no interiors (1 years): IRR -20.6%, net-wealth CAGR -20.6%, cash in ₹20.8 L, net rent ₹0.7 L, net sale ₹20.9 L.
- Hold bare, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 9.0%, net-wealth CAGR 6.8%, cash in ₹46.6 L, net rent ₹11.9 L, net sale ₹82.2 L. Best IRR.
- Hold, do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 6.3%, net-wealth CAGR 5.1%, cash in ₹53.9 L, net rent ₹14.1 L, net sale ₹82.9 L.
