Methodology

Data sources: SMC MLS townhome sales Jun 2025–Jun 2026 (n=311); EPA MLS sales Jun 2024–Jun 2026 (n=250); 142 Mission Drive MLS# ML82043460; EPA Inclusionary Housing Ordinance FY25-26; EPA Development Code Title 18.

Valuation approach: Direct townhome-to-townhome comp. Anchor $750/sf. Three compounded adjustments: log-log size (–1.3%), new-construction premium +7–12% (confirmed +10% from 18 new-build sales), Woodland/Bayshore location discount –5% to –18%.

Unit A: Anchored to $839/sf lower-tier peer median (650–950sf, n=5). 1BD discount –8% to –20% applied from size-controlled regression.

Why PPSF is not linear: Log-log regression R²=0.641, elasticity 1.074. Larger units command slightly more per sf. Hard market price floor exists independent of size.
