rua Álvaro Gomes, 3
Area baseline €187,153 + condition -€32,189 + location +€17,218 = modelled fair value of €172,182 (€1,580/m²), a €177,818 (50.8%) gap versus the €350,000 asking price.
Short-term vacation rental This 2-bed apartment in Armação de Pêra, with a gross yield of 3.9% and a fair value significantly lower than the listing price, suggests a lack of financial viability for short-term rentals. The property’s seasonal demand is further complicated by a condition score of 56/100, making it less appealing to tourists seeking quality accommodations. Long-term rental Given the gap of 50.8% between the listing price of €350,000 and its fair value of €172,182, investing in this property as a long-term rental appears financially imprudent. The neighborhood’s decent quality score of 73/100 does not compensate for the high purchase price, which limits rental yield potential. Buy-and-hold The substantial overpricing of this apartment undermines its appeal as a buy-and-hold investment strategy, especially with a fair value that starkly contrasts the listing. While the area sees some tourist activity, the economic fluctuations driven by seasonal employment make long-term appreciation uncertain under current pricing conditions.
Economic Vulnerability The economic stability score of 65/100 indicates a moderate risk of economic downturns impacting property value and tenant demand.
