## Why prices should grow about 10.5% a year
- + 6.0%: Start with 6.0% a year: the normal long-run growth of Bengaluru home prices.
- + 0.6%: Add 0.6%: prices here rose 10.1% 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.
- + 1.1%: Add 1.1%: 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 (10 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); Pink Line Kalena Agrahara–Nagawara (construction, 2027).
- + 1.7%: Add 1.7% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 10.5%: Result: about 10.5% a year, so a home worth ₹1.84 Cr today would be worth about ₹3.02 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹1.39 Cr. Exit value in year 8: ₹3.78 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹2.48 Cr. Net rent after running costs: ₹22.5 L. Loan: ₹1.45 Cr (EMI ₹1.3 L per month). All-in cost: ₹2.21 Cr (other charges ₹6.2 L, GST ₹9.2 L, stamp duty and registration ₹12.1 L, interiors ₹15.6 L).

## Exit plans compared
- Sell at handover, no interiors (3 years): IRR 24.3%, net-wealth CAGR 15.7%, cash in ₹56.4 L, net rent ₹1.1 L, net sale ₹1.11 Cr. Best IRR.
- Hold bare, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 12.4%, net-wealth CAGR 7.9%, cash in ₹1.27 Cr, net rent ₹18.9 L, net sale ₹2.44 Cr.
- Hold, do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 10.7%, net-wealth CAGR 6.9%, cash in ₹1.39 Cr, net rent ₹22.5 L, net sale ₹2.48 Cr.
