Long-term rental The 2-bed apartment in Santa Marinha e São Pedro da Afurada is currently listed at €285,000, which is 14.9% above its fair value of €242,575. With a gross yield of 4.3%, this property may not provide the competitive return expected for long-term rental investments due to its overpriced nature. Buy-and-hold Investing in this apartment for a buy-and-hold strategy appears risky given that it is priced significantly over fair value, at €285,000 compared to €242,575. Although the location boasts urban demand, the 14.9% pricing gap diminishes the potential for capital appreciation in a buy-and-hold scenario. Family rental The apartment’s environment in Vila Nova de Gaia is appealing for family rentals due to its solid neighbourhood rating of 79/100, but the current listing price of €285,000 suggests it is overpriced by 14.9%. This could limit the attractiveness to families who prioritize affordability in an increasingly competitive rental market.
Potential Tenant Turnover The tenant stability score of 75/100 indicates a moderate risk of tenant turnover, which could impact rental income stability in the long term.
