We usually measure the "terms" based on what is available to us.On the other hand, if you are selling...what benefit do you provide to the buyer?

I would look at objective measures like the value of the real estate in the neighborhood (both sales price, DOM, and rent rates) compared to the surrounding areas - that will tell you how the general population views the area.

If someone really wants something, no security measure works 100%.   

Sorry for not measurements on 2nd level.
