Short-term vacation rental This property’s listing price of €470,000 is notably above the fair value of €379,544, making it overpriced for a short-term vacation rental investment. With a gross yield of only 4.2%, potential returns may not justify the elevated purchase price, particularly in a competitive tourism market. Long-term rental At €470,000, the apartment presents a 19.2% gap from its fair value, indicating that it is overpriced for a long-term rental strategy. The low neighbourhood score of 64/100 suggests that tenant demand may not be sufficient to cover the investment risk at this price point. Buy-and-hold Investing in this property at €470,000, significantly higher than the fair value, makes it a poor choice for a buy-and-hold strategy. The gross yield of 4.2% does not provide enough incentive to hold onto an asset that is overpriced and may not appreciate at the rate needed to match the initial investment.
Economic downturn risk A low economic stability score of 55/100 indicates potential vulnerability to economic downturns, which may negatively impact tenant retention and rental income.
