Short-term vacation rental The current listing price of €350,000 significantly exceeds the fair value of €253,292, suggesting that this property is overpriced for a vacation rental. Given the gross yield of only 3.5%, the return on investment may not be sufficient to justify the high initial outlay. Long-term rental At a listing price that is 27.6% higher than the fair value, this one-bedroom apartment is overpriced for long-term rental pursuits. With an 83/100 condition rating, while appealing, it may not provide a competitive edge in a saturated rental market. Buy-and-hold Despite being in a desirable tourist region, the property’s significant markup over fair value at €350,000 indicates that it is overpriced for a buy-and-hold strategy. The expected yields do not align with the premium price, which may hinder long-term capital appreciation. Not ideal for: This property is not suitable for student housing, industrial storage, or agricultural investment due to its residential nature and pricing dynamics.
Economic Vulnerability: With an economic stability score of 55/100, the property is at risk of declining local economic conditions that could negatively impact rental income and investment value.
