• Vacancy: 3.0% (stable) | Rental demand: Moderate
• Median weekly rent: $300/wk | Days on market: 45 (stable)
• Tenant market — vacancy elevated, negotiate hard on rent.

If Perenjori maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $180,550 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Perenjori pull back 10-15% from $157,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

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

• Bolgart (WA): $135,000 median, 5.0% yield, 0.0% 1yr growth
• Mount Magnet (WA): $125,000 median, 7.3% yield, 12.7% 1yr growth
• Gairdner (WA): $191,000 median, 4.4% yield, 0.0% 1yr growth

Perenjori 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: $141,300 – $172,700
