The buyer standard
Most listings show the house. Your decision has to carry the rest.
Price is one line. Ownership cost, immediate work, street position, disclosures, inspection findings, insurance, offer terms, and resale flexibility are the decision. Put them together before one kitchen takes over the room.

The 85710 Home Tradeoff
Put two homes on the same page. Use your lender, insurance agent, inspectors, records, and quotes to replace assumptions as the search gets real.
The fit inputs are even. The entered year one housing plus work estimates are even.
The year one estimate adds twelve entered monthly housing costs and entered immediate work. It excludes cash to close, utilities, and unknowns. The score is a thinking aid, not a prediction of value, condition, financing, insurance, or resale.

After the inspection, make one decision at a time
An inspection finding is a question before it is a demand. Separate the observation, the qualified opinion, the signed documents, and the burden you are willing to own.
