The listing tells you the price. It doesn't tell you which components are near the end of their life, what replacing them runs in this zip code, or how much to keep in savings for when they go. This report does — for this address.
The address is all we need to start — no account, no card. You'll confirm we matched the right property before you pay for anything.
This is not an inspection. Nobody visits the house. It's built from public records, permits, tax and sales data — and every number on it carries the method that produced it.
Likely rangeSample extract — your report shows your address
Everything above it is a cost you'd have on any house. You'll pay for an inspection either way — it tells you the condition of the house today. The report tells you what the next seven years of owning it will cost.

How we got here. Components and property details come from public records for this address; replacement costs are ranges localized to its zip code. Remaining life is estimated, not measured — nobody opened a panel or read a serial plate — so the report shows it as a range and says so. No issues indicated means the records show none; it does not mean anyone looked at the house.
| Task | Who | Cost | How often | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Replace furnace filter | You | $25 | Every 3 months | How to |
| Clean dryer vent ductwork | You | $150 | Every 6 months | How to |
| Inspect and adjust sprinkler heads | You | $0 | Every 6 months | — |
| Test garage door safety reversal | You | $0 | Yearly | How to |
| Washing machine service | A pro | $150 | Every 2 years | How to |
Sample rows — the full schedule runs monthly through every-few-years, each task tied to the component it keeps alive. Most carry step-by-step instructions you can open as you work.
The other four sections, in every report
Beds, baths, square footage, year built and the full property profile.
Electricity, gas, water and waste for a property of this size and type.
A condition and value score out of 100, what stands out, and what to watch.
Recent nearby sales, and how this home is priced against them.
Every rule of thumb says “set aside 1% of the purchase price a year.” We build it from this home's own components — what each one costs to replace and how long it has left — and give you the balance to be holding, not a percentage.

The TrueCost Analysis Report is not a home inspection. It is an estimate generated from public records for the address you enter. Remaining component life is inferred, not observed, and is shown as ranges. Costs are estimates localized to the property's zip code.
The report is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied on as the sole basis for a purchase, financing, valuation or other financial decision. We source data from third-party public records that we do not control and cannot verify, and we make no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or fitness for any purpose of that data or of the estimates built on it. Always commission a licensed home inspection, and consult qualified professionals, before buying a property.
