rua Dom Marcos da Cruz, 238
Area baseline €211,432 + condition -€9,738 + location +€11,840 = modelled fair value of €213,535 (€2,810/m²), a €61,465 (22.4%) gap versus the €275,000 asking price.
Long-term rental The current listing price of €275,000 presents a significant gap of 22.4% above the fair value of €213,535, indicating that this property is overpriced. Despite a gross yield of 4.5%, the financials do not support a reasonable investment for long-term rental potential in a suburban location. Family rental While the property is situated in a neighbourhood benefiting from Porto's economic influence, its price of €275,000—22.4% over the fair value—renders it overpriced for a family rental strategy. The average condition rating of 67/100 further complicates its attractiveness to families looking for quality housing. Buy-and-hold The appraisal shows that the property is overpriced at €275,000, 22.4% above the fair market value of €213,535, which diminishes its viability for a buy-and-hold investment strategy. With a gross yield of only 4.5% and a neighbourhood rating of 64/100, the long-term returns on this investment appear unfavorable.
Economic Vulnerability With an economic stability score of 70/100 and tenant stability score of 65/100, there is a heightened risk of economic downturn impacting tenant retention and rental income.
