If Currie maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $509,556 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Currie pull back 10-15% from $443,092, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

• George Town (TAS): $465,431 median, 4.8% yield, 25.1% 1yr growth
• Gagebrook (TAS): $499,972 median, 4.9% yield, 2.6% 1yr growth
• Westerway (TAS): $490,054 median, 2.9% yield, 7.9% 1yr growth

Currie 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: $398,783 – $487,401
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
• Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
