Why it fits

Recent price movement shows visible market momentum. Higher SEIFA context supports a stronger local-quality read.

What to check

Premium pricing raises the bar for yield, affordability, and downside checks. Gross yield looks low for an income-first use case. Small local population makes the signal set more fragile.
