# How to Compare Favorite Properties Side-by-Side (B1124-016)

Pick two to five saved homes and see their features and payments together.

Looking at six homes one at a time is how buyers lose track of which one had the small kitchen and which one had the good school. Padzilly lets you put them next to each other instead.

### How to do it

**1\. Save the homes.** Click the heart icon on any property you want to keep. It lands in your **Favorites**.

**2\. Open Favorites** and make sure you are on **Saved Homes**.

**3\. Click Compare.** The screen switches into selection mode.

**4\. Pick the homes.** Click a property card to select it, click it again to deselect. A bar at the bottom keeps count and tells you exactly what it needs: **Select 2–5 homes to compare.**

**5\. Click Compare again** to open the side-by-side view.

### Two and five are real limits

**You need at least two.** One home compared against nothing is just the property page, so the button waits until you have picked a second.

**You can have at most five.** Once you have five selected, Padzilly tells you **Nothing left to add** — deselect one before you can swap in another.

Five is the practical ceiling for a readable table, and in our experience it is also the point where a buyer stops comparing and starts guessing. If you have fifteen favorites, compare them in groups of four or five rather than trying to see them all at once.

### What you actually see

The side-by-side view puts both halves of the decision next to each other:

**The physical features** — beds, baths, size, lot, year built, and the rest of the listing facts.

**The financials** — the monthly payment and the cash needed for each one, calculated against _your_ loan. This is the part that matters, and it is the part other home searches cannot show you. Two houses at the same asking price can land very differently once taxes, insurance and the HOA fee are in the number.

### A way to use it that works

Compare homes you are genuinely torn between, not homes you are curious about. The table is at its best when it settles an argument — "this one is $180 a month cheaper and it has the extra bedroom" is a decision. "These five are all fine" is not.

And look at the payment row before the price row. The price is what the seller wants. The payment is what you live with.
