Running Cost Comparison latest year first, prior years to the right
Each year's AVG is anchored to the flip/builder-grade band (not blended luxury). LOW–HIGH show the realistic investor spread. % delta = latest year AVG vs. the prior year AVG.
Negative % = our prior number is HIGHER than current market (we were over-budgeting). Positive % = current market is HIGHER than our prior number (we are under-budgeting).
Level Roll-Ups running by year
At the LEVEL level the totals are surprisingly stable (most within ±5%) because individual moves offset — systems went UP while cosmetic and plumbing came DOWN.
