So ask these questions now. Then you gotta ask yourself, what is a buyer finding? Because estimating affordability, mortgage payments, and closing costs, there's something that many of these tools still aren't taking into account, and that is utility costs.

That's something that can affect affordability. But is the AI tool going to be thinking about the next stage of affordability? Not like a realtor will. And also, you really should be talking to a lender because if there's anything that a realtor knows, it's that if you get a mortgage number from an online lender, and I'm not naming any names, y'all can think of your own names.
