If Robina maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.8%, median prices could reach $1,832,058 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Robina pull back 10-15% from $1,593,094, with vacancy rising to 4.5% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
