rua São João, 1
Area baseline €280,127 + condition -€32,664 + location +€16,805 = modelled fair value of €194,208 (€1,719/m²), a €80,792 (29.4%) gap versus the €275,000 asking price.
Long-term rental For the 3-bed apartment in Canelas, the gross yield of 3.8% does not sufficiently compensate for the property being overpriced at €275,000 compared to the fair value of €194,208. While the suburban location offers benefits such as low crime rates and good school access, these factors do not justify the current listing price. Buy-and-hold The buy-and-hold strategy would likely underperform given that the property is overpriced by 29.4%, and thus would hinder long-term gains for investors. Although the suburban setting has economic advantages, the gap between the listing price and fair value signals potential difficulties in achieving expected returns on investment. Family rental Targeting family renters may be challenging as the property is overpriced, with a fair value significantly lower than the listing price. Despite the neighborhood's favorable ratings for schools and amenities, the high price could limit potential demand from families seeking affordable housing options.
Tenant turnover risk Due to a tenant stability score of 65/100, there may be an increased risk of tenant turnover, potentially leading to higher vacancies and associated costs.
