- Comp basis: V5 condo · 4 comps · corridor.

- Apple-to-apple headline pool — walk-to-beach comps only (subject is not beachfront).
- Thin Las Catalinas in-polygon proof (1/6 proven) — corridor comps kept; cross-community down-weighted. Pin exact 2BR — 4 of 4 within 4 km. Weight share cap — no comp above 40% of headline blend.

§8
Reconciliation
- Headline revenue uses the Reconciled indication from the weighted blend — low and high bracket the adjusted comp range.
- Largest driver: Breathtaking Flat Seconds from the Beach (48.1% of weighted blend).
- 3 of 4 headline comps carry bed, luxury, location, or operator descale before weighting.
Community tier
- Las Catalinas — Premium (A).
- Same-tier and same-complex comps; premium gated neighbors allowed with full weight.
- Premium neighbors are down-weighted when they would inflate a standard community.
V5 condo engine
- Condo lane — spread from community tier, finish/positioning, view and walk alignment (not pool table stakes).
- Strict product type: villa/home STR titles are hard-excluded; condo/apt types only (Airbnb propertyType + title).
- No corridor band winsor or geo pool-gap — comp weights carry location and product fit.
- Basis: V5 condo · 4 comps · corridor.
Location gap (tier 1)
- Local comps include beachfront, view, and walk-to-beach operators — we haircut the subject when it lacks those fixed premiums.
- Apple-to-apple headline pool — non-view proven operators only (subject has no confirmed ocean view).
- Apple-to-apple headline pool — walk-to-beach comps only (subject is not beachfront).
Product positioning (tier 2)
- Gallery segment not confident — positioning haircut only when finish/segment are known.
- No tier-2 positioning haircut — standard segment and rental-ready finish.
Our estimate revenue
- Published estimate: Reconciled indication ~$46k/yr → ~5.8% gross on $795k asking.
- Basis: V5 condo · 4 comps · corridor.
- The comp tables below list exactly which rentals received positive weight in this estimate blend.
Other recipe adjustments
- + Thin Las Catalinas in-polygon proof (1/6 proven) — corridor comps kept; cross-community down-weighted. Pin exact 2BR — 4 of 4 within 4 km. Weight share cap — no comp above 40% of headline blend.
- + Thin local proof (1 same-type 2BR±1 condo STR via Airbnb propertyType within 0.5 km) — headline widened to corridor (~2.0 km median).
- + Trimmed middle headline — drop weighted top/bottom 20% of the gated blend, then weighted mean (replaces P25/median pick).
- + Hedonic cross-check: V5 vs model p50 differ >1.5×
- Missing vs local winners (capex to close gap): Gym / fitness, Hot tub, BBQ / grill.
- Top-quartile band uses p75 of the same proven-operator comp pool.
Deal score ingredients
