If Sylvania maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.1%, median prices could reach $2,442,386 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Sylvania pull back 10-15% from $2,123,814, with vacancy rising to 2.9% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Premium price point limits buyer pool and increases interest rate sensitivity

• Campsie (NSW): $1,865,686 median, 2.3% yield, 1.5% 1yr growth

Sylvania offers balanced fundamentals but does not present an urgent buying signal. The market is in a recovery phase with low vacancy risk. Monitor vacancy trends and price movements over the next 6-12 months. Only enter if a property can be acquired at or below median pricing with yields exceeding 4.0%.

• Entry range: $1,911,433 – $2,336,195
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
• Watch signal: vacancy staying below 2% and days on market falling below 35
