I would also try and understand if it’s to code / permitted for the bedroom to be in the basement. There are generally rules about exit points in order to legally allow for that.
Definitely a negative for families. Parents like to be on the same floor as their young kids.
First floor fine, but basement absolutely not.

If you like it, then go for it. Don’t worry about what other people think if the house works for you, especially if it’s your primary residence.

It’s probably less expensive because of the basement primary bedroom. Same will happen when you want to sell. I wouldn’t be concerned about a lower resale price as long as you are paying less to start with.

It’s a risk in a fire situation. Those guidelines exist for a reason. Good luck with insurance if something happened.
Does the basement have a direct walkout outside? A basement isn’t usually classified as an actual living area unless it has access directly to the outside. It could be a rec room but what does the main floor look like?
