If Tarampa maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.5%, median prices could reach $1,170,306 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Tarampa pull back 10-15% from $1,017,657, with vacancy rising to 4.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

Tarampa carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A recovery market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution.
