BULL CASE
If Kulnura maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.7%, median prices could reach $2,200,351 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Kulnura pull back 10-15% from $1,913,349, with vacancy rising to 4.3% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
