Reconciliation
- Headline revenue uses the Low indication from the weighted blend — low and high bracket the adjusted comp range.
- Largest driver: Gated Condo w/ Pool, Near Playa Penca - Sleeps… (46.5% of weighted blend).
- 3 of 3 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 · 3 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: premium.
- No tier-2 positioning haircut — standard segment and rental-ready finish.
Our estimate revenue
- Published estimate: Low indication ~$27k/yr → ~3.1% gross on $850k asking.
- Basis: V5 condo · 3 comps · corridor.
