INFRASTRUCTURE & CATALYSTS

BULL CASE
If Zeehan maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $239,772 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Zeehan pull back 10-15% from $208,497, 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

THE PLAY
Zeehan carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A boom market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution.
