  1. If there’s a “For Sale” sign in my neighbor’s yard, I can tell you how much they’re asking for their house, and whether it’s worth it.
  2. I have a habit of checking the real estate listings online, even though I’m not planning to move.
  3. I think the best time to take a walk is at dusk — after people have started turning on their lights, but before they’ve closed their blinds!
  4. I like to visit Open Houses and model homes for fun.
  5. If I see a house I like, I’ll snap a pic of it with my phone.
  6. When I visit someone’s home, I immediately start looking around to see what changes they’ve made since the last time I was there.
  7. I get upset when I see a beautiful old home that looks neglected and unloved, and I fantasize about “rescuing” it.
  8. I would accept an invitation to a party I didn’t really want to go to just to get a look inside the house.
  9. I have considered becoming a real estate agent, or have been told I should be one. (Or maybe you are one!)
  10. I’ve been known to check out the local house listings when I’m on vacation to see how much it would cost to live there.
  11. When I drive through a pretty neighborhood, I slow to a crawl so I don’t miss anything.
  12. I’m always redecorating my house or thinking about what I’d like to do. It’s never “finished.”
  13. There are certain TV shows or movies I’ll watch just because of the great houses in them.
  14. People have told me they like my house or how I’ve decorated it.
  15. I brake for cute cottages.

Can you relate to at least 5 of these? Then you’re hooked on houses, too. Welcome to our club! 🙂
