Albufeira e Olhos de Água, Albufeira, Faro
Area baseline €324,638 + condition +€6,688 + location +€25,971 = modelled fair value of €357,297 (€3,339/m²), a €107,703 (23.2%) gap versus the €465,000 asking price.
Long-term rental The property is overpriced at €465,000, against a fair value of €357,297, indicating a significant gap that diminishes the potential for capital appreciation. With a gross yield of 3.5%, the long-term rental return does not justify the elevated entry price in this tourist-dominated market. Short-term vacation rental While the property is situated in a prime tourist region of Algarve, it is overpriced at €465,000, which exceeds the fair value of €357,297 by 23.2%. The demand for short-term vacation rentals may support occupancy, but the high purchase price undermines the potential for attractive returns. Buy-and-hold Investing in this property as a long-term buy-and-hold strategy is challenged by its overpriced listing of €465,000 compared to a fair value of €357,297. The limited yield of 3.5% further complicates the investment case, making it less favorable in the current pricing context.
Economic Volatility Risk The economic stability score of 65/100 indicates a medium level of volatility which may lead to fluctuating rental income and impact tenant retention.
