My wife and I just bought our first home, a small goat farm with a residence located just outside of a college in North Central Florida. For my MCDM assignment, I am going construct a MCDM model drawing from the pros and cons list my wife and I compiled while trying to decide which home to buy. We had narrowed down our search to three homes and then wrote out a list of criteria that was important to us to make the best decision possible. I wanted to list the chart first, as a reference, and then list of the criteria separately and explain each one individually and why it was chosen. I will then detail each house and what the pros and cons are for each.

Price was our biggest concern and was the criteria that we weighted the most towards our decision. The main reason for the substantially lower price was because of the location and small acreage. The house was located eighteen miles from the downtown, was not secluded, and had only 4 acres. These metrics were close to the upper and lower boundaries we had set for each one respectively. The home’s style was close to what we wanted, but not as nice as homes 2 and 3. The house was small about 1,000 sf, but was only six years old which would certainly save us on maintenance costs. The home was close to shopping at about three miles and was fifteen miles from my wife work.
House 2 House 2 was $50,000 more expensive than House 1 mainly because it was located closer to the downtown, was more secluded, and it had two more acreage than House 1. The style was preferable to House 1, it had more square feet at 1,500, but was also older than House 1. Because of its geographic location in relation to the town, it was the house farthest away from my wife’s work at twenty miles and was farther away from shopping at five miles which were both much more than we would have liked. The commute to work and to shopping would really affect our decision on whether to choose this house.
