What this decision turns on
Remote families need a plan for repairs, one-day touring and the gap between closing and student move-in. The useful evidence is property- and plan-specific rather than a generic claim about the BU market.
Review the evidenceWhat to compare before you act
Narrow the list before travel, group tours, assign local repair follow-up and decide who holds keys or manages the property before occupancy. Use the exact address, current documents, current costs and intended hold period instead of averages that hide building-level differences.
Review the checklistWhat can change the answer
Do not leave post-closing logistics undefined simply because the transaction can close electronically. If the decision depends on lending, tax, legal, insurance, HOA or university rules, confirm that part with the responsible source before relying on it.
