If Elands maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $779,125 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Elands pull back 10-15% from $677,500, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

• Kinchela (NSW): $776,000 median, 3.2% yield, -0.5% 1yr growth
• Hat Head (NSW): $678,789 median, 3.6% yield, 37.5% 1yr growth
• Collombatti (NSW): $800,481 median, 3.1% yield, 11.9% 1yr growth

Elands carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A boom market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution. Avoid new acquisitions unless significant discount to median pricing is achievable. Re-evaluate if vacancy falls below 2.5% or annual price growth exceeds 3%.

• Entry range: $609,750 – $745,250
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
