If the market turns

Modeled appreciation is an assumption, so we replayed this deal against history: every 10-year window in the federal house-price index for San Francisco County (41 windows), each one swapping its actual price path in for our modeled appreciation.

History replayYearsEnds vs the never-buy path
Worst window1989→1999−$1,834,542
Median window1991→2001+$236,074
Best window1996→2006+$3,143,492

18 of the 41 windows ended behind the never-buy path.

Replay the 2001 downturn as it hit this area and the deal ends year 10 $852,828 behind the never-buy path; the deepest point comes in year 8, $1,032,939 behind. The replay holds rent growth to the local legal cap the whole way down.

These windows track San Francisco County as a whole. Within the county, individual ZIPs' realized 10-year outcomes typically differed from the county's by about ±0.6 points/yr — one zip-decade in ten differed by ±1.8 points/yr or more, and the largest gap since 1975 was 7.4 points/yr. A specific building varies more than its ZIP, not less.

Where these numbers come from

Of the 10 inputs behind this analysis, 2 trace to evidence (our listing feed, area comps, county records); 1 rests on the fewest units the evidence allows.

  • Purchase price: an unclassified source · corroborated
  • Rent while you live in one unit: a standing area-research rule · single source
  • Rent after you move out: an unclassified source · no independent witness
  • The rent you would pay on the never-buy path: an unclassified source · no independent witness
  • Property tax rate: an unclassified source · no independent witness
  • Unit count: the fewest units the evidence allows · no independent witness

A standing convention is a deliberate modeling choice we apply to every deal. We flag it rather than dress it up as evidence.
