BULL CASE
If Gingin maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.7%, median prices could reach $886,650 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Gingin pull back 10-15% from $771,000, with vacancy rising to 4.3% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
