Long-term rental This 2-bed apartment in Lustosa e Barrosas, with a fair value of €180,113 and listed at €192,000, shows a gap of 6.2%, indicating that it is overpriced for long-term rental considerations. Given the 0% gross yield and moderate condition at 73/100, the property lacks the potential for attractive cash flow in a stable rental market. Value-add renovation Although the apartment has a condition score of 73/100, indicating some room for improvement, the current listing price of €192,000 makes it a challenging value-add opportunity as it is overpriced relative to its fair value of €180,113. Without addressing this price disparity, potential renovation efforts may not yield sufficient returns to justify the investment. Family rental As an option for family rental, the property in Lousada is less appealing with its listing price of €192,000 exceeding the fair value of €180,113, categorizing it as overpriced. The neighbourhood rating of 63/100 suggests moderate desirability, but the cost does not align with the expected returns for families seeking long-term rental options.
Economic Volatility Risk The economic stability score of 60 indicates potential vulnerabilities in the local market that could affect property value over time.
