Home Sweet Home

At some point in our lives, we must have asked the question "How much is my house worth?" It could be the tiny flat we first moved into upon turning 21, or the 5-bedroom, 2-story brick house we spent most of our childhood in. Yes, the one with the white picket fence. Or maybe it's that old beach house facing the ocean, where we've always spent our summers. Surely that's worth a lot. It has been with the family for some time, and you can actually hear the distinct sound of the waves crashing. Whatever house we have in mind, how do we know much it is worth?

Before we can estimate how much something is worth, first we have to know what exactly we're talking about. Houses are not just bare-boned structures we can assess objectively, because there are a lot of things to consider. Houses represent more than just cement and wood panels and square meters - houses actually say a lot about our life's journey. See, as we go through this journey called life, we go through many things. From childhood to adolescence to adulthood, we meet different people and encounter different places. Some people stay in one place their whole lives. Most people, however, move. With every different phase of life, people tend to move. With every move, comes a different house, a different home. Home - what is it anyway? Home-Sweet-Home...!!!
