You can make your final decision much easier by going back to your starting point. Ask yourself these questions:

Review your priorities
Do both properties meet your all stated housing requirements?

Seek new information
Do you know all you need to know about the neighborhood, local schools, transportation, and community facilities?

Get out the crystal ball
Do you expect to stay in your next home long? And how will either house fit your expected needs and lifestyle over that time period?

Compare the added features for each home
Are there benefits that outweigh any shortfalls in your priority list?

Keep resale in mind
Which home will probably be easier to resell if you intend to move in five or 10 years?

Analyze the costs of both homes
Compare the prices for each. How do the long-term costs such as heat, local taxes and fees, transportation and other day-to-day living expenses stack up?
