Orientation is the positioning of a home on a lot. In other words, the term is used to describe the direction a home faces. Orientation can affect the market value of a home, so before buying a home, you should make sure that its orientation meets your personal preferences.

What is a new house orientation?

The New Home Orientation differs from other walkthroughs. The goal is to give you, the buyer, a stem-to-stern overview of how your home was built and how it operates. By the end of the roughly three-hour orientation, you will have the information and resources you need to live in complete comfort in your home.

What is the best home orientation?

To make the most of the sun for warmth and natural light, your home’s main living areas (or any rooms you use a lot) should face north. The main glazing in the house, such as windows and glass doors, should also face north. Anywhere between 20°W – 30°E of true north is fine.
