We all develop emotional connections to places we inhabit. Out of all the places we are bind in the strongest emotional bond with the house that we live in. A house is probably the biggest financial and emotional transaction suffused with hopes and dreams in anyone’s life. Mainly when we think about buying a property, rational thinking is about its value but little do we know that emotional value surpasses all the logic of buying a house.
Space and Memory:
Researchers at duke university (department of neuroscience) studied how physical space is tied to memory. The study found out that people–place relationships are way more complex than we think. Humans memories are products of our body's experience of physical space that is why a house has significant value beyond anything monetary. A house is heavily connected to us through all the memories and associations we make there. Some of the biggest Emotional events in our life happen there, we develop relationships, raise our children, spend time with friends and family.
When we think about buying a house it has two values attached to it:
- Logical
- Emotional
Normally one would say logical (Value of the property) is the most significant thing people look for, this can’t be far from truth as 70% of houses are bought and sold based on their emotional significance.
A house is a place made for relaxation, the smarter and more comfortable our houses get, attachment and happiness we feel towards them increases. Houses built with intrinsic details of architecture and material are linked to happiness, contentment and emotional stability. Your house should feel like a fortress where you feel safe and protected.
