Nyabing has compounded at 6.5%/yr over 5 years. Median sits in the $205,000 (pending peer validation) band today. Properties are sitting on market for 45 days (roughly balanced conditions).

• Median house: $205,000 (pending peer validation) | Units: $0
• Gross yield: 2.4% | Net yield: 0.9%
• 5yr price CAGR: 6.5%/yr | 3yr forecast: 13.5%/yr
• Population: 260 | Owner-occupier rate: 62% | Affluence: High

• Supply pipeline: Low — Price growth outpacing new supply, limited development pipeline

• Vacancy: 3.0% (stable) | Rental demand: Moderate
• Median weekly rent: $95/wk | Days on market: 45 (stable)
• Tenant market — vacancy elevated, negotiate hard on rent.

• Median nightly rate: $503/night | Occupancy: 37%
• Estimated annual STR gross: ~$67,941/yr
• vs long-term rent: $4,940/yr (+1275% STR premium — factor in higher management costs)

If Nyabing maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $235,750 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Nyabing pull back 10-15% from $205,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

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

• Kambalda East (WA): $209,982 median, 9.9% yield, 15.0% 1yr growth
• Gairdner (WA): $191,000 median, 4.4% yield, 0.0% 1yr growth
• Morawa (WA): $190,000 median, 5.2% yield, 20.0% 1yr growth

Nyabing carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A stable market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution. Avoid new acquisitions unless significant discount to median pricing is achievable. Re-evaluate if vacancy falls below 2.5% or annual price growth exceeds 3%.

• Entry range: $184,500 – $225,500
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
• Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
