Long-term rental The current listing price of €299,000 exceeds the fair value by 14.8%, indicating that this investment may not meet expected returns given its yield of 4.3%. Additionally, with a condition score of 69/100 and an average neighbourhood rating of 67/100, potential long-term tenants may have other options that offer better value. Family rental At a listing price of €299,000, the property is overpriced compared to the fair value of €260,358, which may deter families seeking affordable housing options in suburban areas. The yield of 4.3% may not compensate for the elevated entry cost when considering the apartment's condition and the surrounding amenities. Buy-and-hold The apartment's price tag of €299,000 represents a 14.8% premium over the fair value, making a buy-and-hold strategy less appealing due to diminished price appreciation potential. With a yield of only 4.3%, the investment returns may falter compared to market expectations, especially in a suburban area with moderate amenities.
Economic Fluctuation Risk With an economic stability score of 65/100, there is a moderate risk that economic downturns could negatively impact rental income and property value due to fluctuations in the local market.
