rua da Sofia
Area baseline €239,715 + condition -€23,953 + location +€12,465 = modelled fair value of €228,227 (€2,174/m²), a €70,773 (23.7%) gap versus the €299,000 asking price.
Student housing The property, set in a balanced urban environment influenced by the University of Coimbra, offers limited appeal for student housing due to its 0% gross yield and 60/100 condition rating. With its current listing price of €299,000 significantly above the fair value of €228,227, this investment opportunity is overpriced and may not yield competitive rental returns. Long-term rental While the neighbourhood has a decent student population, the property’s 0% gross yield and overall condition rating of 60/100 hinder its viability as a long-term rental investment. Priced at €299,000, which is 23.7% above the fair value, it represents an overpriced asset in the current market dynamics. Buy-and-hold Given the property’s proximity to the University of Coimbra, potential exists for long-term appreciation; however, its high price point diminishes this strategy's attractiveness. The asking price of €299,000 sits well above the fair value of €228,227, making it an overpriced investment for a buy-and-hold strategy.
Tenant turnover risk High tenant turnover may occur due to a tenant stability score of 70/100, indicating potential volatility in rental income.
