Short-term vacation rental The apartment's price of €320,000 is 24.1% above the fair value of €257,786, highlighting a potential risk for short-term investors who seek to maximize returns in a strong tourist area. With a gross yield of only 3.3%, it's unlikely to generate sufficient income to justify the high investment cost. Long-term rental At a listing price of €320,000, the property appears overpriced, representing a significant gap compared to the fair value of €257,786, making it less appealing for long-term rental strategies. Despite the favorable neighbourhood quality of 71/100, the yield of 3.3% suggests that potential cash flow may not be adequate relative to the purchase price. Buy-and-hold Considering the listing price of €320,000, which exceeds the fair value by 24.1%, this 1-bed apartment does not align with a sound buy-and-hold investment strategy. Even though the property is in a desirable location, the low gross yield of 3.3% indicates limited potential for profit over time.
Economic Vulnerability Given the economic stability score of 60/100, there's a risk that fluctuations in the local economy could negatively impact rental income and property values.
