If Broadbeach maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.3%, median prices could reach $2,056,516 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Broadbeach pull back 10-15% from $1,788,275, with vacancy rising to 3.2% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
