Long-term rental The 3-bed apartment in Castêlo da Maia is overpriced at €399,000, which stands significantly above its fair value of €214,632, resulting in a 46.2% gap. With a gross yield of only 3.6% and a neighbourhood rating of 64/100, it may deter potential long-term tenants looking for value. Family rental Priced at €399,000, this property does not align with family renters seeking affordability, given its substantial overvaluation compared to the fair value of €214,632. The conditions and amenities available may not justify this price point for families prioritizing budget-friendly options.
