🔒 Your responses are private. Your assessment is free and covers your entire household. Your report delivers ranked community matches immediately. Connect with a realtor through our platform to unlock specific property matches.

🏠 About You & Your Household

Let's start with the basics. This helps us understand the kind of community that fits your life stage and household makeup.

Select all that apply — many households fit more than one category.
This affects fencing needs, veterinary access, dog parks, and pet-friendly regulations.
For your personalized report.
Where we'll deliver your report. Never shared except with partner realtors with active accounts in your matched areas.
🔒 Set a password and your progress saves automatically. Come back anytime — on any device — and pick up where you left off.
Only if you'd like realtors to reach you by phone.

🚗 Work & Commuting

Your commute shapes your daily life more than almost anything else. Let's figure out what works — and if you work remotely, we'll focus on the infrastructure you need instead.

Enter a city or address. We'll calculate commute times to every community in our database.
Communities beyond this time will be flagged but not excluded — sometimes the perfect community is worth a few extra minutes.
If you travel frequently, this matters more than you think.
Beaches, ski areas, lakes, trails, golf courses — we can calculate distances to your regular spots too.

🌡 Climate & Weather Preferences

Weather shapes everything — your mood, health, recreation, and energy bills. Tell us what matters, and we'll match you with communities where the climate actually works for you.

How much winter do you want? This shapes which communities we surface for you.
Choose what feels right for you.
Dark skies matter for stargazing, sleep quality, and sense of place. Rural areas vary widely.
Proximity to highways or agriculture affects air quality. Important for respiratory conditions.

📶 Infrastructure & Essential Services

The unglamorous things that make daily life work — or don't. These are the factors most people discover too late, after they've already moved. We check them first.

Broadband quality varies dramatically between rural and urban areas — and between providers. We track actual speeds, not advertised ones.
Cell coverage gaps exist in every state — often in the most beautiful places. We track actual coverage, not carrier maps.
Road quality and maintenance schedules vary enormously by county and municipality. In storm country, this is your evacuation route. In snow country, this is your morning commute.
In remote areas, response can take 30+ minutes. If you have health conditions, this matters.
Some towns have curbside; others require transfer station trips. Small thing, big quality-of-life factor.

🏥 Health, Safety & Wellbeing

Distance to a hospital matters when it matters most. Environmental factors affect your daily wellbeing in ways you might not think about until it's too late.

We track flood zones, historical flooding data, and environmental vulnerability for every state.
Even if you're young — do you want a community where you can stay as you age?

👥 Community & Social Life

A house is a structure. A home is a community. Research shows that community connection is one of the strongest predictors of life satisfaction — and it's the one factor most relocation tools completely ignore.

We track which communities actively welcome diverse populations.
Town greens, farmers markets, festivals, community suppers.
Many communities have strong civic traditions — we factor local civic engagement into your match.

🎓 Education & Cultural Life

Educational and cultural resources shape a community's character and your opportunities for growth.

In many communities, local libraries serve as genuine social hubs, not just book repositories.

⛷ Recreation & Lifestyle

Vermont is a playground. But the kind of play that matters to you determines which corner is your paradise.

🏠 Property & Financial

These details help us match you with current MLS listings in your recommended communities — so your report comes with real properties to look at.

✨ Your Voice — What Else Matters?

This is the heart of what makes Home Sweet Home different. Structured questions capture data. But you are more than data points. This section is where you tell us what really matters — the things no algorithm would think to ask.

Maybe it's being near a specific type of store, or a particular activity, or a community with a specific character. Whatever it is — we want to know.
Close your eyes. What does your ideal day look like? What's outside your window? Where do you go for coffee, for a walk, for peace? Paint us a picture.
Is there a question you wish we'd asked? Ask it here — we'll address it in your report.

📋 One Step to Unlock Your Full Report

To access the complete results of this questionnaire, a licensed realtor must complete a Source & Resource Agreement with Shiny Penny Productions L3C. This is a straightforward business agreement — not a commitment to buy or sell.

Once your realtor has signed, they will guide you through interpreting your full results, including your ranked community list, match scores, lifestyle analytics, and specific property opportunities in your top communities.

Connect your realtor in two easy steps:

👥 Choose a Partner Realtor

View verified partner realtors who already have active accounts and can access your report immediately.

✉ Invite Your Own Agent

Have an agent you trust? Send them an invitation. Once they complete the agreement, your full report will be shared with them — and you.

Send Your Agent an Invitation

Your agent will receive instructions to complete the agreement and activate their Home Sweet Home partner account.

🔒 Your assessment data is saved securely. No full report is generated without a realtor holding an active partner agreement.

📧 We'll email you when your report is ready.
