House comparison

Here is a listing of the positives and negatives for the three houses we are trying to decide between buying. They are listed according to when we looked at them. Just can't seem to decide any one of them over the other. House A is closer to downtown, the other two are just around the corner from one another on the south side of town (in an older subdivision). They're all within probably $8,000 of one another. We need to decide soon, before they're all bought. My hope is that writing this out might help us make a decision. Any insights or input is welcome. Especially from you, Lord.
