Looking for shelter
A housing search is the process of looking for a place to live—an apartment, house, or other dwelling.
The term implies active effort over time: browsing listings, visiting properties, comparing options.
The housing search took three months in this market.
Often stressful in competitive rental markets where desirable units disappear quickly.
