## 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.
- + 0.7%: Add 0.7%: prices here rose 10.6% 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.
- + 1.6%: Add 1.6%: 9 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.3%: Add 0.3%: few unsold homes in the area (15 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: Purple Line Whitefield extension (2023) (operational, 2023); Peripheral Ring Road (planned, 2030); Cauvery Stage V water (construction, 2027).
- + 0.0%: No extra project-level adjustment.
- = 8.7%: Result: about 8.7% a year, so a home worth ₹1.66 Cr today would be worth about ₹2.53 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹1.35 Cr. Exit value in year 8: ₹3.16 Cr. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹2.13 Cr. Net rent after running costs: ₹25.5 L. Loan: ₹1.25 Cr (EMI ₹1.1 L per month). All-in cost: ₹1.89 Cr (other charges ₹5.6 L, GST ₹0.0 L, stamp duty and registration ₹11.0 L, interiors ₹10.3 L).

## Exit plans compared
- No interiors, rent unfurnished (8 years): IRR 8.0%, net-wealth CAGR 5.9%, cash in ₹1.28 Cr, net rent ₹21.3 L, net sale ₹2.12 Cr. Best IRR.
- Do interiors, rent & sell fitted (8 years): IRR 7.0%, net-wealth CAGR 5.3%, cash in ₹1.35 Cr, net rent ₹25.5 L, net sale ₹2.13 Cr.
