BULL CASE
If Kalangadoo maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.3%, median prices could reach $438,988 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Kalangadoo pull back 10-15% from $381,729, with vacancy rising to 3.2% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
- Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

THE PLAY
