Patent attributes
A home cost analysis server for executing a customized home search may include a processor programmed to receive user input including a geographic area and a budget, and define a budget constraint. The processor may access an external database storing a list of available homes in the geographic area, and analyze metadata associated with each available home on the list to determine a monthly home cost associated with each available home. The processor may also determine a significant home maintenance cost associated with each available home based upon the metadata and the geographic area, and calculate a total cost associated with each available home. The processor may further isolate a subset of the available homes having the total cost associated therewith that satisfies the budget constraint, and cause to be displayed the subset of available homes along with a graphical indicator that associates the total cost with the budget constraint.
