🏡 This or That: Your Dream Home Edition!

🏡 This or That: Your Dream Home Edition!

Buying a home is one of the most exciting (and important!) decisions you’ll ever make—but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun with it too! Let’s play a quick game of “This or That: Home Edition.”

Think of it like a personality quiz for your future dream home. Whether you’re just dreaming or seriously house hunting, it’s always fun to explore what really matters most to you in a home!

Ready? Let’s go! 👇


1. ✨ Open Concept or Defined Rooms?

This: Wide-open kitchen, dining, and living space for hosting, flow, and connection
That: Cozy, defined rooms with separation and structure

Pro tip: Think about how you like to live and entertain. Open concept is great for togetherness, while separate rooms offer more privacy and quiet.


2. ☀️ Natural Light or Smart Lighting?

This: Sun-soaked windows and skylights
That: Customizable smart lighting with mood settings

Lighting plays a huge role in the look and feel of your home—and can even affect your energy bill!


3. 🛁 Spa Bathroom or Chef’s Kitchen?

This: Luxurious soaking tub, dual sinks, and calming tile
That: Gas range, double ovens, and a center island made for meal prep

Where do you spend more time relaxing—cooking up a storm or winding down at the end of the day?


4. 🌳 Big Backyard or Low-Maintenance Lot?

This: Spacious yard for pets, parties, or a future pool
That: Cozy patio with just enough space to grill and chill

Outdoor space is a huge value point, but it’s all about how much maintenance you’re ready to take on.


5. 🛏️ Extra Bedroom or Home Office?

This: Room for guests, hobbies, or future growth
That: Dedicated space for productivity and remote work

Many buyers today are prioritizing flexible spaces—what would yours be used for most?


6. 🚗 Attached Garage or Finished Basement?

This: Keep your car warm and dry year-round
That: Game room, movie den, or bonus living space

Bonus rooms are fun, but so is not scraping ice off your windshield in January!


7. 🏙️ City Convenience or Suburban Serenity?

This: Walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and local events
That: Peace, space, and a little room to breathe

Location is everything—what lifestyle fits you best?
