Reading the bands
Size, age and price together shape what a budget buys. Newer homes usually cost more per square foot and older homes can carry repair or update decisions, so the right band depends on what you want to own and maintain. A La Porte average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself.
