Unit Mix and Absorption Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Unit mixes are often set by habit: too many two-bedrooms because the last project had them. When the market wants studios, the building leases slowly. This agent reads market demand and comparable rents for the area, then tests several unit mixes. For each one it estimates how fast the units can lease or sell, the rent or price per square foot, the construction cost and the return. It checks the absorption timeline against the loan term and carrying costs, and adjusts the mix when the timeline is too long or the return too low. It keeps the mix that meets both the pace and the return target. The developer approves the mix. Edge case: a mix with the best return needs 28 months to lease, which breaks the loan, so the agent rejects it.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A mix qualifies only when estimated lease-up fits the loan term and the return meets the target. Among qualifying mixes it picks the highest return.

  • Reject any mix whose lease-up exceeds the loan term
  • Use the median of at least three comparable properties for rent
  • Prefer the mix with a higher return when both pass
  • Flag any mix that relies on one unit type for over 60 percent of income

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Return target (default 14%)
  • Maximum lease-up months
  • Unit types allowed
  • Number of comparables required

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Developer approves the final unit mix
  • Developer approves the market assumptions used

Hard limits

  • Do not treat estimates as guaranteed
  • Show sources for every comparable
  • Never choose a mix without approval

It stops when

  • Done: one mix passes both pace and return tests
  • Stop: no mix passes and the developer must change the program

An example run

What happensOption A has 60 two-bedrooms and returns 15.2%, but leasing runs 26 months against a 20-month loan. The agent shifts 18 units to studios and one-bedrooms, cutting lease-up to 19 months and the return to 14.6%, which meets the 14% target. The developer approves this mix.
