rua Major Pala
Area baseline €235,505 + condition -€55,961 + location +€17,898 = modelled fair value of €197,442 (€2,078/m²), a €17,558 (8.2%) gap versus the €215,000 asking price.
Long-term rental The property is currently overpriced at €215,000, exceeding its fair value by 8.2%. With a gross yield of 5.4% and a condition rating of only 37/100, long-term rental investment is unlikely to provide satisfactory returns given the current market dynamics. Family rental Although the location in Vila Nova de Gaia is suburban and generally safe, the property’s listing price of €215,000 is above the fair value of €197,442. The lack of substantial amenities and a subpar condition further diminishes its appeal for families seeking a rental home. Buy-and-hold Considering the property’s current price is 8.2% over fair value, it does not present a favorable opportunity for a buy-and-hold strategy. The projected yield of 5.4% may not offset the risks associated with the property's condition and market sentiment in the area.
[Tenant turnover risk] With a tenant stability score of 65/100, there is a notable risk of increased tenant turnover, potentially impacting rental income and property cash flow.
