Long-term rental This property, listed at €176,500, is overpriced by 17.9% when compared to its fair value of €144,988, making it a less attractive option for long-term rental investments. With a gross yield of only 6.2% and a neighbourhood score of 44/100, the potential for consistent rental income may not justify the higher purchase price given the local economic conditions. Buy-and-hold The current listing price of €176,500 suggests that the property is overpriced by 17.9%, with a fair value estimated at €144,988, which diminishes its attractiveness for a buy-and-hold strategy. Additionally, the property's condition rating of 64/100, coupled with its rural location, implies that the appreciation potential may not be sufficient to offset the overvaluation.
Economic Vulnerability The low economic stability score of 35/100 suggests a heightened risk of downturns that could adversely affect rental income.
