Long-term rental The 2-bed apartment in Castêlo da Maia is priced at €280,000, significantly above its fair value of €223,278, indicating it is overpriced for long-term rental investments. With a gross yield of only 3.7%, this property may not generate sufficient rental income to justify its asking price. Family rental Given the apartment’s current pricing of €280,000 against a fair value of €223,278, it is clear that this property is overpriced for families seeking rental options. The location's condition and neighbourhood quality scores suggest it may not meet the expectations of families looking for value. Buy-and-hold At €280,000, this property is overpriced compared to its fair value of €223,278, diminishing its attractiveness for a buy-and-hold approach. The gross yield of 3.7% does not provide a compelling reason to consider this investment in the current market environment.
Market Sensitivity Risk Given the economic stability score of 80/100 and tenant stability score of 80/100, a minor downturn in the market could significantly impact rental income due to the reliance on stable economic conditions and tenant retention.
