Long-term rental The property is currently listed at €380,000, which is significantly above its fair value of €259,083, marking a 31.8% gap. Given the gross yield of 4.3% and a neighborhood rating of 74/100, the investment is unlikely to perform well in the long-term rental market due to its overpriced status. Buy-and-hold Investing in this apartment at €380,000 does not align with a buy-and-hold strategy since it is valued significantly over fair market value. The average condition score of 76/100 suggests it may not appreciate sufficiently to justify the high entry price. Family rental Though situated in a family-friendly environment, the €380,000 listing price overshoots the estimated fair value, making it less appealing as a family rental property. The potential for rental demand is hampered by the apparent overpricing relative to the neighborhood's 74/100 quality rating.
Potential Long-Term Vacancy Risk The economic and tenant stability scores of 75/100 suggest a moderate risk of long-term vacancies, potentially impacting cash flow.
