What could go wrong
Prices eased 20.3% over the year — strong +143% over the longer run. (thin market — too few sales to be reliable)
Tight rental market — landlords have the upper hand.
New approvals are running below local demand — a supply gap that supports prices and rents.
Population growth is the clearest leading indicator of housing demand. Wesburn grew +3% between 2015 and 2025, and is projected +8% more by 2036.
