## Why prices should grow about 11.0% 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 12.6% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.1%: Subtract 0.1%: at ₹3,200 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 1.2%: Add 1.2%: 5 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- − 0.7%: Subtract 0.7%: many new homes are being built here (25 months of unsold stock), which keeps prices in check.
- + 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); Satellite Town Ring Road (construction, 2028); Bengaluru suburban rail (K-RIDE) (construction, 2029).
- + 3.4%: Add 3.4% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 11.0%: Result: about 11.0% a year, so a home worth ₹38.5 L today would be worth about ₹64.9 L in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.

## Returns over 8 years
- Cash put in: ₹25.5 L. Exit value in year 8: ₹82.8 L. Net sale after loan and costs: ₹54.5 L. Net rent after running costs: ₹-0.7 L. Loan: ₹28.9 L (EMI ₹0.3 L per month). All-in cost: ₹41.1 L (other charges ₹0.8 L, GST ₹0.0 L, stamp duty and registration ₹2.5 L).
