Albufeira e Olhos de Água, Albufeira, Faro
Area baseline €203,278 + condition -€4,502 + location +€17,075 = modelled fair value of €215,852 (€3,222/m²), a €109,148 (33.6%) gap versus the €325,000 asking price.
Short-term vacation rental Given the coastal influence of Albufeira and a gross yield of 3.8%, this property is likely to attract tourists seeking short-term stays, but its price point does not align with fair market value. With a gap of 11.0% above fair value at €325,000, the investment returns may not justify the elevated entry cost. Buy-and-hold Investing in this 1-bed apartment for long-term holding purposes carries risks due to its current price of €325,000, which is significantly higher than the assessed fair value of €289,351. The potential appreciation may not be sufficient to offset the 3.8% yield, indicating this property may not provide a favorable long-term hold. Value-add renovation Although renovating the property could improve its condition and potentially increase rental income, the existing price of €325,000 remains above its fair value. Thus, the renovation investments would need to overcome the initial overpricing to yield a profitable outcome. Not ideal for: Student housing, Luxury market, Long-term rental
Economic Dependency Risk The economic stability score of 65 indicates a moderate risk that local economic conditions could negatively impact tenant demand and rental income.
