What are we filling in for you?
The model uses 75 property inputs. We start from a representative training home of the same type in your chosen neighborhood, then replace its main details with your answers. If that combination has no training homes, we use a representative home of that type elsewhere in Ames.
Basement, lot, half bathrooms, renovation year, maintenance condition, and other unasked details come from that example. Garage area is assumed at 240 sq ft per car. These choices affect the estimate. Market change is applied automatically while holding these characteristics fixed.
The five finish levels map to the model’s material-quality scores of 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 out of 10. Maintenance condition is a separate, automatically filled field. The estimate download includes all supplied and assumed model inputs, the latest available index period, and the market-index source.
