São Gonçalo de Lagos, Lagos, Faro
Area baseline €426,024 + condition -€20,587 + location +€42,602 = modelled fair value of €448,039 (€3,672/m²), a €201,961 (31.1%) gap versus the €650,000 asking price.
Short-term vacation rental The property is overpriced, with a 7.0% gap to fair value, which diminishes its attractiveness for short-term vacation rental investors. Despite the high tourism appeal of the Algarve, the 2.1% gross yield is not compelling given the investment cost. Buy-and-hold Investing in this property for buy-and-hold purposes poses significant risk, as it is overpriced in relation to its fair value. The current condition score of 64/100 suggests that maintenance costs may reduce the overall return on investment further. Family rental While the property is located in a decent neighborhood with a score of 75/100, its current pricing indicates it is overpriced for the family rental market. The low yield of 2.1% combined with the 7.0% gap from fair value suggests that potential rental returns may not justify the high acquisition cost.
Economic Vulnerability The economic stability score of 65/100 indicates a potential susceptibility to market fluctuations, which could affect tenant retention and rent levels adversely.
