BULL CASE
If Greenfields maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.6%, median prices could reach $782,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Greenfields pull back 10-15% from $680,000, with vacancy rising to 4.1% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
