The Difference Between a House vs. Home

Have you ever questioned what the difference is between a house and a home? As experts in the field of real estate, we are frequently asked this question. A house is what you purchase and a home is what it becomes once you move in and settle down. You’ll often see that we advertise beach homes for sale far more often than houses for sale. That’s because our homes for sale have a way of holding onto the essence of what makes a house a home long after the sellers have moved out. It’s that comfort factor that makes a house get snatched right up.

Whether you call it a house or a home matters little in the home buying process. What does matter is the Realtor you use to find your next home. Give us a call at Sloane Realty 800-237-4609 and we’ll gladly show you around the area.
