BULL CASE

If Haddon maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.0%, median prices could reach $1,021,200 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

BEAR CASE

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Haddon pull back 10-15% from $888,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
