Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, Tavira, Faro
Area baseline €450,556 + condition +€18,022 + location +€3,175 = modelled fair value of €418,024 (€2,863/m²), a €420,976 (50.2%) gap versus the €839,000 asking price.
Short-term vacation rental With an asking price of €839,000, this property is overpriced by 50.2% compared to its fair value of €418,024, making it a less attractive option for short-term vacation rentals in the competitive Algarve market. The gross yield of 2.1% further demonstrates that the financial potential does not justify the current listing price. Long-term rental The excessive price of €839,000, which is 50.2% above the fair value, limits the feasibility of this property as a long-term rental investment in a neighborhood rated 52/100. Given the low yield of 2.1%, potential investors may find better opportunities that offer a stronger return on investment.
Economic and Tenant Risk With an economic stability score of 45/100 and a tenant stability score of 55/100, there is a significant risk that the property may experience fluctuating occupancy rates and rental income instability due to weak economic conditions.
