BULL CASE
If Mylor maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 0.8%, median prices could reach $1,996,400 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Mylor pull back 10-15% from $1,736,000, with vacancy rising to 1.4% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
