Short-term vacation rental Given the property's gross yield of 3.2% and its current listing price of €299,000, it is clear that the investment potential is limited compared to the fair value of €253,110. In a neighborhood score of 71/100, while appealing for tourists, the pricing remains high, indicating that returns may not justify the cost for vacation rentals. Long-term rental With a list price that exceeds fair value by 15.3%, investing in this property as a long-term rental may lead to slower growth and compromised cash flow, particularly given the yield of only 3.2%. The neighborhood score reflects decent living conditions; however, the property's price suggests it may not be the most optimal choice for reliable long-term returns. Buy-and-hold Purchasing this property for a buy-and-hold strategy may not be advisable given its fair value comparison, indicating it is overpriced at €299,000. Even though the apartment is in good condition (81/100), the gap between its listing price and fair value both limits potential gains and introduces risk in a fluctuating market.
Potential Revenue Fluctuation The economic stability score of 65/100 indicates a moderate risk of fluctuating rental income, which could affect cash flow.
