I disagree, a one time feeling looking at a house can be influenced by have you eaten, time of day, did you have a fight with your spouse, an enthusiastic real estate agent etc. A list made over time is much more reliable. A house is a major investment, and one doesn’t usually invest large sums of money in stocks, for example, based on “feelings”.
