rua da Figueira, 21
Area baseline €285,032 + condition +€1,794 + location +€21,893 = modelled fair value of €272,475 (€3,323/m²), a €77,525 (22.1%) gap versus the €350,000 asking price.
Short-term vacation rental The property is overpriced at €350,000 with a fair value of €272,475, reflecting a significant gap of 22.1%. With a gross yield of only 4%, this investment lacks the attractive returns typically sought in the competitive vacation rental market. Long-term rental At €350,000, the apartment exceeds its fair value, making it a less appealing option for long-term rental investments compared to others in the area. The 4% gross yield does not compensate for the higher purchase price, diminishing the potential for sustainable revenue. Buy-and-hold Given the current pricing at €350,000, the apartment is overpriced relative to its fair value of €272,475, presenting challenges for long-term appreciation. Investors may find better opportunities elsewhere, as the 4% yield does not offset the initial investment risk in this context.
Economic Vulnerability With an economic stability score of 65, there is a moderate risk of economic downturns affecting rental demand and property value. Tenant Stability Risk A tenant stability score of 70 indicates potential fluctuations in tenant retention, which could impact cash flow and investment returns.
