  4. Methodology • Comparing between the cost of building a house from scratch and buying an already-built house in the same location. • Comparing which one will yield a better profit when selling in 10 years. The rate of inflation of 3% will be considered in our calculations.

  5. Assumptions • Inflation: 3% • Property Tax increase: 2% per year • Insurance increase: 2% per year • Interest rate: 6% • MARR: 7% • Appreciation: 5%

  6. Cash Flow Diagrams Resale MARR = 7% Appreciation: 5% n = 120 Monthly Payment Down Payment I=3% Maintenance I=2% Insurance I=2% Property tax

  7. Sensitivity Analysis • MARR: 7% • Adjustment: + 0.5% • Result: Buying a house is more profitable.

  8. Sensitivity Analysis (cont) • Appreciation value: 5% • Adjustment: + 0.5% • Result: Buying a house is more desirable.

  9. Sensitivity Analysis (cont) • Appraised value: $620,000 -> $800,000 • Result: Building a house is more favorable when the house is appraised at $780,000 or higher.

  10. Resources • Internet • www.imrmls.com • www.century21.com • www.bankrate.com • Real estate agents • General contractors

  11. Conclusion • Through the use of all the resources stated previously, we were able to do a thorough sensitivity analysis. • With the sensitivity techniques that we used, we’ve found that 2 out of the 3 analysis indicated that buying a house is more profitable.
