If Pilton maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $920,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Pilton pull back 10-15% from $800,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

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

Pilton offers balanced fundamentals but does not present an urgent buying signal. The market is in a recovery phase with moderate 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: N/A – N/A
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
• Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
