Not sure how I feel about this, but
once again I am providing testimony to how much of a geek I am. Although, sometimes
being a geek pays off in big ways...
Take a look at the "highlight
table", or as many like to mistakenly call it, the "heatmap".
I dug this "goodie" up
this morning. A few years back now, my wife and I were in the market for a new
home. We had our favorites but we still had a list of 11...and unfortunately,
could only afford one.
I’ve fudged the numbers in all
columns for the sake of not wanting to disclose information regarding our
personal finances, but the point is not lost…This nifty lil’ visual helped me
land our best option, House E (all green), which happened to be my #1 choice.
This is no small feat. Let me key in
something here. Without being able to SHOW my wife how the houses
stacked up, here is what our analysis may have looked like:
Anyone care to wager which house we
would have moved into?
3 years later…couldn’t possibly be
happier with our data-driven decision. Coincidence? I like to think not.
Cheers,
Kevin Taylor
