Short-term vacation rental The property is overpriced at €825,000, significantly above the fair value of €552,709, indicating a 33.0% gap that ultimately detracts from its investment appeal. With a gross yield of only 4.6%, this villa’s elevated price point undermines its attractiveness for short-term vacation rentals in a competitive tourism market. Buy-and-hold Given its listing price of €825,000 versus a fair value of €552,709, the 33.0% disparity suggests this property is overpriced, which hampers the potential for capital appreciation over time. The current condition rating of 79/100 may not justify the investment, particularly when considering future maintenance costs and market trends. Family rental At €825,000, the property is overpriced compared to the fair value of €552,709, with a concerning 33.0% gap that limits its feasibility as a long-term family rental investment. The neighbourhood score of 63/100 suggests that while there may be some appeal, the high entry price could deter potential renters looking for more value.
Economic Volatility The economic stability score of 55/100 indicates a potential risk of fluctuations in local demand, which could impact rental income and property value. Tenant Retention Concerns With a tenant stability score of 58/100, there may be an increased risk of tenant turnover, leading to higher vacancy rates and additional costs for finding new tenants.
