Short-term vacation rental The property is priced at €450,000, significantly above its fair value of €358,285, leading to a 25.6% gap that undermines its attractiveness for vacation rentals. With a gross yield of only 2.2%, this investment does not align with profitable short-term rental strategies in a primarily tourist-focused area. Buy-and-hold At a listing price of €450,000, the acquisition of this property would be a suboptimal long-term investment given its fair value of €358,285 and a moderate yield of 2.2%. Considering the local economy's dependence on tourism, the sustained price overvaluation hampers its potential for reliable appreciation over time. Long-term rental Given the current market price of €450,000, which exceeds the fair value by 25.6%, this property is not a suitable candidate for long-term rental strategies. The low gross yield of 2.2% further indicates that this investment lacks the necessary return profile for a fulfilling and sustainable rental income. Not ideal for: Student housing, Industrial logistics, High-density urban development.
Tenant turnover risk A tenant stability score of 70/100 suggests moderate risk of turnover, which may impact rental income and increase vacancy periods.
