BULL CASE
If Birregurra maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $799,250 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

KEY RISKS
- Flood risk: HIGH (planning_overlay) — order a flood certificate for the specific address before commit
