BULL CASE
If Koorda maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $184,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Koorda pull back 10-15% from $160,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
