Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Median of 9 recent single-family sales in El Granada (94019): $778/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. No size-matched sales in El Granada, so this median mixes build sizes and reads high for a large rebuild.

Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.

Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
