Field notes

The matcher asks for annual household income, a city, a search radius, and a buy-or-rent choice, with optional filters for flood risk, property tax, and falling prices. Its stated ownership model uses a 10% down payment and a 7.18% mortgage rate, while the site says counties without a full page appear without links. The displayed figures are described as typical comparisons, not quotes or appraisals.
