If Hyden maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $270,635 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Hyden pull back 10-15% from $235,335, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential
