Short-term vacation rental The current asking price of €420,000 for the 2-bed apartment exceeds the fair value by 63%, resulting in an unappealing yield of 2.5%. Given the neighbourhood rating of 53/100, potential returns from short-term rentals appear limited compared to the investment required. Value-add renovation With a property in need of improvement, the fair value of €155,210 suggests that investing in renovations may not justify the significantly inflated listing price of €420,000. Given the apartment's condition score of 66/100, the potential upside appears constrained by the initial cost burden. Buy-and-hold The €420,000 asking price for the apartment represents a considerable gap to the fair value, making it less attractive for long-term holding strategies. The 2.5% gross yield, combined with the low neighbourhood score, indicates a challenging environment for capital appreciation over time.
Low demand risk With an economic stability score of 45/100 and a tenant stability score of 52/100, there is a significant risk of low demand for rental units which could lead to longer vacancy periods and decreased rental income.
