INFRASTRUCTURE & CATALYSTS
- No major confirmed infrastructure projects on record.
- Transport: Burnie station 3.0km away
BULL CASE
If Cooee maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $689,951 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Cooee pull back 10-15% from $599,957, 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
COMPARABLE MARKETS

- Hagley (TAS): $645,672 median, 1.6% yield, 16.4% 1yr growth
THE PLAY
Cooee carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A cooling market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution. Avoid new acquisitions unless significant discount to median pricing is achievable. Re-evaluate if vacancy falls below 2.5% or annual price growth exceeds 3%.
- Entry range: $539,961 – $659,953
- Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
- Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
