The experience of the community has no bearing on whether a specific house is right for you or not.
The original point I was trying to make is that purchasing a home isn't an equation with 5-6 variables as the original poster has tried to point out. It's an equation with 200 independent variables and you won't know the answer to 50% of those until after you move in.
All the rational thought and decisionmaking won't inform you to the fact that the neighbors like to party outdoors until 4am, or the factory across town has decided today to move to Mexico and decimate the taxbase of the community.
You can never get all the variables right. All you can do is give it your best shot and learn from experience.
