The Cost per square foot is the basic starting point to evaluate a home.
Then you factor in other things like location, neighborhood, housed next to this one, age of home, type of construction [brick, vinal, wood] condition of home/interia, size of lot, landscaping, trees, etc.
One thing that is important to me is to have a back porch that is shaded in the afternoons. I like to cook out a lot and I would not buy a house that faces to the east.
The condition [age] of the roof can be a major consideration. A new roof can cost $ 10,000+/-.
