BULL CASE
If Exeter maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $898,372 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Exeter pull back 10-15% from $781,193, 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

- Hagley (TAS): $645,672 median, 1.6% yield, 16.4% 1yr growth
THE PLAY
Exeter 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%.

- Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
