BULL CASE
If Terang maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $437,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Terang pull back 10-15% from $380,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
