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 Alameda 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+$13,297
Median window2014→2024+$377,617
Best window1996→2006+$1,077,282

None of the 41 windows ended behind the never-buy path.

Replay the 2008 crash as it hit this area and the deal ends year 10 $122,859 behind the never-buy path; the deepest point comes in year 6, $224,651 behind.

These windows track Alameda County as a whole. Within the county, individual ZIPs' realized 10-year outcomes typically differed from the county's by about ±1.2 points/yr — one zip-decade in ten differed by ±3.5 points/yr or more, and the largest gap since 1975 was 5.5 points/yr. A specific building varies more than its ZIP, not less.

Where these numbers come from

Of the 10 inputs behind this analysis, 3 trace to evidence (our listing feed, area comps, county records); 2 are standing conventions; 3 are derived from other inputs.

  • Purchase price: our listing feed · corroborated
  • Rent while you live in one unit: derived from other inputs here · single source
  • Rent after you move out: an unclassified source · no independent witness
  • The rent you would pay on the never-buy path: derived from other inputs here · single source
  • Property tax rate: local rent regulation · single source
  • Unit count: county assessor records · corroborated

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