What numbers should you underwrite a Pflugerville deal with?

• Price growth to assume — -1.1%/yr. 1 year: -5.5% · 5 years: -1.1% · ten years: +4.8%. Do not use the ten-year rate. Most of that growth landed in the 2020 and 2021 boom. The five-year rate is what Pflugerville does without one. Underwrite closer to -1.1%. Measure growth per square foot. Pflugerville median list price grew 3.3% a year, but price per square foot grew 4.8%. The gap is smaller homes, not weaker growth. The house you buy will not shrink. The one-year rate is a timing signal. It is not an underwriting input.
• Months of carrying cost — 2. A typical home takes 57 days to sell. Budget that long when you exit or refinance. It is 30% slower than a year ago.
• Odds you cut your price to sell — 1 in 3. About 35% of homes on the Pflugerville market right now have already cut their asking price. Assume you are one of them when you sell. Do not underwrite an exit at your asking price.
• Comp on this, not median price — $188/sqft. The typical Pflugerville listing shrank from 2,485 to 2,211 sqft since Jul 2016. So median price hides real growth: 59% per sqft versus 38% on the median. Comp on median price and you will overpay for small homes.
• Competition when you exit — +7%. That is how much the number of homes for sale grew in a year. Your resale will face a bigger crowd than today's comps did.
