[Vocabulary] made a judgement

[uktous]

Hi,

Question:
Which sentence is correct?

Sentence1: (an opinion)
I made a judgement which was that the house prices were too high.
Sentence2: (a decision)
I made a judgement which was that we should not buy houses.

Why I ask?
I don’t know the meaning of judgement in “made a judgement”.


My opinion:
Judgements have 2 meanings:
Meaning1: opinion about
Meaning2: decision about

However, I am not sure which is the correct meaning.

Thanks

Opinion - sentence 1

 

[christopher mark kohler]

Decisions are made because one has an opinion. A judge makes decisions on whether to hang someone, based on her/his opinion. My opinion is that the prices are too high so I decided not to buy. I made a judgement call to not buy. There could be a case where someone judged the prices to be too high. Some apartment owners are sued for having prices that are too high. But here, it is a personal opinion. I would save judgement for a decision not to buy. But you could use it to replace the word opinion, but it sounds a bit too strong to me in this case.
