BULL CASE
If Teelba maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $450,800 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Teelba pull back 10-15% from $392,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
- Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

THE PLAY
