rua Laura Alves
Area baseline €395,920 + condition +€10,000 + location +€34,841 = modelled fair value of €440,761 (€5,510/m²), a €38,239 (8.0%) gap versus the €479,000 asking price.
Family rental This property is overpriced by 8.0% compared to its fair value of €440,761, which may deter potential tenant families seeking affordable options. With a gross yield of only 2.9%, it does not present an attractive return for long-term family rentals in the current market. Long-term rental With a fair value gap indicating the property is 8.0% overpriced, prospective long-term renters may find better value elsewhere in the area. The modest gross yield of 2.9% further suggests limited investment appeal for this rental strategy. Buy-and-hold At €479,000, the property's price exceeds its fair value by 8.0%, indicating it may not appreciate as expected over time. Coupled with a low gross yield of 2.9%, this buy-and-hold strategy appears less appealing in the current market conditions.
Economic Vulnerability The economic stability score of 70/100 suggests potential fluctuations in local economic conditions that could impact rental demand.
