Update: updated to 5 stars! The hammer issue I realized was really just an issue starting out in the game. Once you get enough houses, you start getting more! I'm excited for more places to be put into the game!I love this game! It's very addicting and fun to "buy" homes I'll never be able to afford lol. The main problem I have is that it is limited to Texas and Canada. I would enjoy it significantly more if my hometown or a dream city were included soon. These two options aren't particularly exciting and as a future homebuyer, it'd be so much more helpful being able to search in a city I'm planning to move to! My other problem is how many hammers everything costs! I'm sure as I build up my number of houses, I will get more. But things like selling a home or doing the daily challenge shouldn't cost hammers. It's annoying to only get to do one renovation before you're out or not be able to do the daily challenge.

Great concept - but more waiting than playing

The core idea of Househunt is fantastic. I love discovering unique properties across the country and locally. Using real listings makes it much more engaging than a standard tycoon game but the current balancing makes it hard to actually stay invested IMO.Right now, the game feels stagnant because the "heart" revival takes way too long. I find myself waiting nearly all day just to do a handful of tours in a tow. The renovation and selling timers are also a major bottleneck; waiting 4+ hours for a house to move means the game just sits unused on my phone.I think the economy needs a tune up as well. When renovations cost 50+ hammers and I’m only generating 10–15 hammers per building every 4 hours, the math just doesn't add up for a fun experience. Even with a paid membership, the progression feels too slow to justify the paywall.Finally, I’m not sold on the AI renovation feature. I love the ability to renovate individual rooms, but the AI often generates results that look worse than the original photo. It feels like an unnecessary addition that misses the mark on the "real home" aesthetic.I’d love to come back and give this 5 stars if the timers were reduced and the hammer production was boosted. There’s a great game in here, it just needs to let us actually play it!

I’m new to this game, literally 24 hours in. I’m obsessed! I’ve purchased the monthly unlimited hearts. I do wish there were more free opportunity for hammers. Also more renovations allowed. Ways to earn them for free. But another thing, since I’ve completed a bunch of tours, every time I go to buy a house it’s a little frustrating. There are so many in the list. Can we get an option to sort them based on price? It’s hard to sort through and find the lowest priced ones especially when I’m low on money! Other than that the game is 10/10! I’m addicted already! Tons of content tons of houses! One of those games I’ll probably never be able to finish all the way! There’s just that much you can do!

As soon as I read about this game on ZillowGoneWild, I knew I wanted to check it out. It is everything I would ever have hoped for in a real estate game, and more. There is a lot to experience in the game, but I also appreciate that I can play it at my own pace. For example, I’m more interested in completing tasks and advancing as far as I can in specific parts of one city versus expanding as much as possible into multiple locations, and the game allows me to do that without forcing me to experience more than I want to. The tours are a lot of fun and fulfill my inner need to constantly browse real estate listings, but in an even more enjoyable way. I’m so happy this game exists!
