Where You Belong: The Home Quiz

🏡 Space-Seeker

“I want room to breathe, a backyard, and space for family, hobbies, or pets.”

🌱 Who You Are

You are the backyard dreamer and the garage hobbyist of the housing world. For you, space is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. You see a home as more than just walls and a roof; it’s a sanctuary for family, pets, creativity, and growth. You crave room to spread out, whether that means a garden for summer barbecues, a workshop for your tools, or enough bedrooms for kids, in-laws, or guests.

Crowded towers and cookie-cutter condos don’t appeal to you. You’re not just looking for four walls — you’re looking for freedom, privacy, and the ability to live life without bumping elbows with neighbors.

What Makes You Unique

Space-Seekers value freedom, comfort, and room to grow. For you, a home isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a canvas for family memories, a safe haven for pets, and a playground for hobbies. You’re willing to move a little further from the city core if it means waking up to birdsong instead of traffic.

Your priorities lean toward longevity and lifestyle:

  • Room for children to grow up.

  • Space for multi-generational living.

  • Outdoor areas for relaxation and play.

  • Flexibility to add value over time (suites, gardens, expansions).

🏡 Home Types That Call to You

For a Space-Seeker, square footage is more than just a number. You need flexibility and functionality — homes that adapt to your lifestyle.

Detached Homes on Larger Lots

The classic dream. Room for kids to play, dogs to roam, and you to garden or entertain.

Townhouses with Private Yards
Town-houses
