rua Altinho da Cotovia
Area baseline €151,360 + condition -€5,500 + location +€605 = modelled fair value of €146,465 (€2,663/m²), a €103,535 (41.4%) gap versus the €250,000 asking price.
Long-term rental Given the 3.5% gross yield and the fair value significantly lower than the listing price, this 1-bed apartment in Sesimbra is not positioned for favorable long-term rental returns. Additionally, the below-average neighbourhood rating of 51/100 suggests potential challenges in attracting quality tenants or achieving stable occupancy. Short-term vacation rental While the coastal location may draw short-term vacation rental interest, the 41.4% gap to fair value indicates that this property is overpriced for such a venture. The property’s condition rating of 69/100 also raises concerns about its appeal to potential guests, limiting profitability. Buy-and-hold Investing in this property as a buy-and-hold strategy is problematic given its 250,000€ asking price compared to a fair value of 146,465€. The economic and housing context, particularly with an industrial influence nearby, may not support significant price appreciation over time, making the investment less desirable.
Tenant turnover risk With both economic stability and tenant stability scores at 50/100, there is a significant risk of high tenant turnover, which may lead to increased vacancy rates and instability in rental income.
