househunting
Seeking new digs
Househunting is the process of searching for a home to buy or rent.
It typically involves visiting properties, comparing options, and weighing factors like price, location, and condition: We spent three weekends househunting in the suburbs.
Also spelled house-hunting or house hunting.
