Dwell

A while back I almost bought a house I was in love with. The listing was gorgeous. What it didn't tell me: the "updated" roof was at end-of-life, the comps it was priced against weren't really comps, and the repair list I eventually got was going to eat my entire reno budget. I found all of that out the slow, expensive way — one surprise at a time.

So I built Dwell — basically the tool I wish I'd had standing in that driveway.
You paste in an address and it gives you a free read on the property: value, the obvious flags, and where the listing is being optimistic. If you want the deep version, it generates a Truth File — a single verdict (CLEAR / REVIEW / HIGH-RISK) with numbered, cited findings, not vibes. It also estimates condition and cost-to-cure (what it'll actually cost to fix), shows you real comps, and flags where you have negotiating leverage.
Two side pieces I added because they kept biting me personally:
Reno Intel — where the renovation upside actually is on a place vs. where you'd just be lighting money on fire.
QuoteCheck — paste a contractor's quote and it x-rays it: inflated line items, vague scope, missing scope. It even gives you a negotiation script. (This one alone has saved me more than I want to admit.)
The address read is free. The deep intelligence is a paid membership ($29/mo) — I'm not going to pretend it isn't, this sub hates that. But I genuinely want feedback more than signups right now.
It's live at dwell.aurochthryx.com if you want to throw an address at it. And if you're mid-purchase right now and don't want to pay — drop an address in the comments and I'll run the Truth File and post back what it finds.

That's the fastest way for me to learn what's actually useful vs. noise.
What would make you trust (or not trust) a tool like this with a six-figure decision? That's the part I most want to get right.
