- Comp basis: V5 condo.

- Apple-to-apple headline pool — non-view proven operators only (subject has no confirmed ocean view).

Calculation walkthrough
- 1Per-comp scaleraw TTM × bed scale × location descale × operator descaleBed scale bridges ±1BR comps to subject size. Location/luxury descale removes product premiums the subject lacks. Operator descale strips elite track-record lift (4.9★+ / deep reviews) — for-sale buyers start unproven.
- 2×Community tier−10% Unlisted condo STR band (Budget (C))
- 3Comp weight60% map distance · 40% bedroom matchCloser same-bed comps rank higher; view/walk/luxury/operator descale applied separately.

§8
Reconciliation
- Headline withheld — no comps cleared the proof gate and weight filters.
Community tier
- Unlisted condo — Budget (C) (default tier-C haircut when no registered polygon).
- Same-complex proven STR preferred; ≥3 nearby proven condo comps can anchor when in-complex is thin or unlisted.
- Corridor villa comps do not anchor budget condo headlines.
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.
Location gap (tier 1)
- Subject has at least one premium location trait (ocean view, walk-to-beach, or beachfront) — no tier-1 location haircut applied.
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.
What runs when the pool clears
- Positive-weight comps in the estimate blend move the published revenue band — same set shown in the table below.
- Recipe traits (pool, view, product type) adjust scaled revenue before weighting.
- Still verify title, water (AyA/ASADA), building permits, and bed count before offering.
§9
Limiting conditions
- —Broker asking price and listing copy — not verified sale or operating statements.
- —STR revenue from AirROI trailing-twelve-months; forward seasonality not projected separately.
- —Gallery vision segment is photo-based; finish gaps may lag physical inspection.
- —Coordinates approximate when broker omits parcel pin — headline withheld.
- —Gross yield excludes capex, furnishing, management, tax, and financing.
