You have just moved to a new place and someone is trying to check in to see what’s up with the place. If are you looking for ways to give them an answer, I have compiled 20 different ways to do so.
In this article, you are going to see the 20 best replies to give when someone asks “How’s your new place?” Whether it is a rented apartment or a house you bought, you are going to find a suitable answer in this article. I have divided the responses into three categories: positive, negative, and indifferent.
Let’s get into it.
Positive Replies to “How’s Your New Place?”
It Is Really A Bang For The Buck
This phrase tells the person that you think the house is of great value for the money you used in paying for it. We usually say “It is a bang for the buck,” when we feel like the money we paid to get something was well worth it.
- The house was really worth the investment
- I think the house is a good deal, don’t feel bad about the purchase.
I Have Got The Best Neighbors. So Glad I Took The Place
If the house is a shared apartment or you have got neighbors around you, you could use this statement to express what you feel about the house. This will come in handy when the neighbors are good to you and stay within their boundaries.
The House Matches My Taste So Well That I Can Say It Is A Good Deal
Some houses are just the best fit for us. They match our personality and work habits so well, that we love to stay in them.
“The house matches my taste so well that I can say it is a good deal” is a good way to respond to “How’s your new place?” when you want to give the questioner the idea that the house matches your personality.
- I love it very quiet and the location of the house gives me that quiet feeling every day, all-day
- Wanted a house that overlooked the ocean as it helps my creativity and yes, this house is that house.
Everything About The House Is Beautiful
If you do not have anything specific to tie to why you are positive about the house, one easy response to the question is to say “Everything about the house is beautiful.”
You do not need to explain. This response is suited when you do not want to give too many details about the house to the person asking.
I Didn’t Need To Do Too Many Renovations To Turn It Into A Haven. It Is So Cool Now
When you bought the place and needed to make a few renovations, you can use a statement like “I didn’t need to do too many renovations to turn it into a haven. It is so cool now.”
You can use this response when they know the state of the house after you just bought it. It is going to make sense to someone like that.
The Kids Say They Are Happy And I Think It Is Good For Me
With this statement, you are telling the person asking that your kids like the new place and you don’t have any problem with it.
You can go with this response when you are indifferent about the house but your kids or spouse likes it so much, that you are forced to like it too.
To Think That I Was Hesitant About Paying For The House. I Am So Happy I Did
If someone who asked you to buy the house wants to know how it is going, “To think that I was hesitant about paying for the house. I am so happy I did” is a good way to respond.
Maybe you weren’t convinced the house was worth the price and the person gave you reasons to try the deal, you can use this response when they ask about your new place.
You Should Come To See It. Everything Is Perfect
Another way you can respond to someone who asks you “How’s your new place?” is to invite them over. You can say “You should come to see it. Everything is perfect” when extending the invitation.
If you are inviting someone to your house, they will probably be your friend, relative, or close colleague.
Awesome. That’s Basically The Only Word I Can Use To Describe The House
This is another response to use when you do not really have anything to say about your new place. It comes in handy also if you do not want to share too many details about it with the person who’s asking.
The Fact That I Can Get To Work Without Facing The Usual Commuting Hassle Makes It Great For Me.
Another cool way to reply to is to come from the angle of how the place has helped you solve a problem. For instance, “The fact that I can get to work without facing the usual commuting hassle makes it great for me” talks about how the new place has solved the problem of getting to work easily.
You could also say:
- Now, I don’t worry about where to keep my stuff as the house is large enough to contain our belongings
- I love the place because it has brought me closer to farmlands and I can grow some crops now
Negative Replies to Give to “How’s Your New Place?”
Maybe the new place you got was a bad deal, here are some cool ways to express negativity when you are asked about your new place:
- My desperation would not let me take my time to do my due diligence and now I have ended up with the wrong building
- Trust me, you don’t want to hear me nag and rant about how much I dislike the place
- Everything’s suddenly faulty and I wonder why I never noticed all along
- It just doesn’t feel right. I guess it is because I still miss my former place
- The neighbors are really starting to piss me off and it’s been what? Six weeks?
- If I could get a refund, I wouldn’t mind
My Desperation Would Not Let Me Take My Time To Do My Due Diligence And Now I Have Ended Up With The Wrong Building
If you feel like you rushed into the deal and didn’t check other options well enough before deciding to make the purchase, you could this statement when someone asks you about your new place.
- I was looking for a quick solution and I ended up with a bigger problem
- Let’s say I have learned my lesson and it is to not let haste motivate me into a decision
Trust Me, You Don’t Want To Hear Me Nag And Rant About How Much I Dislike The Place
When you do not like the place and you really do not have a reason to tell them, you can say “Trust me, you don’t want to hear me nag and rant about how much I dislike the place” when they ask you for feedback.
This makes it clear to them that you do not like the place.
Everything’s Suddenly Faulty And I Wonder Why I Never Noticed All Along
One of the reasons people might not like to live in a place is because they suddenly got in and everything seems to be in a bad condition.
I know how bad this can be. If this is the scenario at your new place, should someone ask, tell them that “Everything’s suddenly faulty and I wonder why I never noticed all along.”
It Just Doesn’t Feel Right. I Guess It Is Because I Still Miss My Former Place
Since you just recently moved, chances are you still like your old place. “It just doesn’t feel right. I guess it is because I still miss my former place” is a way to let them know that you don’t feel good about this new house.
You also use this response when you want to suggest that your former place was better than this. Other ways to say it include:
- The house just feels like a downgrade from my other location
- There’s something unsettling about this new house
The Neighbors Are Really Starting To Piss Me Off And It’s Been What? Six Weeks?
Neighbors can be good and some can be problematic. Since I already established an example where the neighbors are good, this is one about when they aren’t all that accommodating.
“The neighbors are really starting to piss me off and it’s been what? Six weeks?” is a good way to respond to what your new house is like. You can replace any part of the statement with what the neighbors do that offends you or how long you’ve been in the house.
If I Could Get A Refund, I Wouldn’t Mind
“If I could get a refund, I wouldn’t mind” can be another way to respond when someone asks you about your new house and you do not like anything about it.
Stating you want to get a refund for your purchase is enough reason to let them know you are not happy about it.
Indifferent Replies to “How’s Your New Place?”
The last section of this piece looks at responses to “How is your new place?” when you are in between being positive about the house and being negative. These are some responses with that in mind:
- I guess it’s been okay. Nothing to complain about
- It is quite a distance but I like the laidback nature of the neighborhood
- It is too early to complain as I am still trying to settle in
- For now, everything’s perfect. I only expected more
I Guess It’s Been Okay. Nothing To Complain About
This is the statement to use when you do not have anything to say about the new place. It is good when you aren’t sure of the house but are trying to stay positive.
It Is Quite A Distance But I Like The Laidback Nature Of The Neighborhood
You can point out a problem with your new place and something that balances out the issue. Like this statement does “It is quite a distance but I like the laidback nature of the neighborhood.” It highlights a pro and then a con.
It Is Too Early To Complain As I Am Still Trying To Settle In
“It is too early to complain as I am still trying to settle in” is another statement to use when you aren’t sure what to say about your new place. Especially when you just moved in.
For Now, Everything’s Perfect. I Only Expected More
Finally, this is another response to use when you are neutral about the answer to give. It is a way to say things are good but you would have loved better.
Final Thoughts
Now, you have enough responses to give when someone asks you about a new place you either just bought or moved to. I trust you will not be at a loss for what to answer in reply to “How’s your new place?”
