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.

You thrive on stillness, greenery, and space to breathe. The chaos of urban life drains you, so you naturally gravitate toward calm neighborhoods, low-traffic streets, and properties where the world feels a little further away.

What matters most is a sense of seclusion, whether that comes from a quiet street, a backyard that feels like your own sanctuary, or natural surroundings that keep the outside world at bay. You don’t just want privacy—you need it to feel grounded, relaxed, and truly at home.

You value open living areas, large yards, maybe even space for a workshop, garden, or home gym. It’s not just about luxury; it’s about having the freedom to spread out, live comfortably, and feel like your home actually fits your life. You need space for hobbies, family, and yourself—and you know it.

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).
