Important Note To ensure accurate results, please carefully review each input field and understand its significance. Input values should reflect your specific circumstances and the local conditions where you plan to buy or rent.

While we use average values as defaults, they may not be accurate for every user. Results will heavily depend on the precision of the values you provide.

Although we cannot predict future variables with 100% accuracy, understanding how these values behaved in the past can help us minimize errors. However, it is important to note that they may still differ from the actual future values.
