The Difference Between a House and a Home

You will often find the words "house" and "home" used interchangeably. There is a big difference between a house and a home.

  • A house can be a place to eat, sleep, park your car, and where you store your belongings. It is a material possession and an investment.
  • A home is where you feel comfortable, warm, safe and protected. It is where you relax at the end of the day.
  • A home is where you live, love and raise a family; where friends visit and memories are made.
  • A house is something you buy logically.
  • A home is an emotional purchase.

When buying real estate you have to balance your emotional wants and your logical needs because there will almost certainly be a time when the two conflict.

When viewing a house, most people look at it emotionally and envision it as a safe, happy, comfortable home. Later, when making the offer or filling out a mortgage application, your logic may begin to kick in instead. The trick in buying real estate is to view all decisions with both a logical perspective and an emotional perspective. If a situation presents itself that requires a trade-off, decide on whether there is a huge conflict or a small one. Logic should win the big conflicts, but emotion will always influence your decision.
