I think homes are a palpable form of investment, and I understand them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.
My idea of home is not necessarily a place.
Owning a home is a keystone of wealth - both financial affluence and emotional security.
I think homes should reflect the individuals and their individual taste rather than someone else's.
One of the main uses of a home is to stay in it, when one is too weak and spiritless for conforming, without effort, to the ways of other houses.
I'm just fascinated by houses. In another life, I'd have probably trained as an architect. If I had enough money, I'd collect them like other people collect teapots. I don't know why I love them so much. I'm just very interested in the idea of a house as a metaphor for the way one lives.
A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
I don't look at what people do with their homes in terms of money, but the social and personal value of what they're trying to do and achieve.
I have been very happy with my homes, but homes really are no more than the people who live in them.
People should buy a house to live in, not as an investment. Property has become such a national obsession - it was the primary subject at dinner parties and how many television shows were dedicated to the market. It's not good for the economy.
