How your apartment reveals whether you are a proximity type, a status type or a nostalgic type

According to a report by amp.focus.de, the well-known housing expert Uwe Linke provides interesting insights into what information our apartments can reveal about our problems. Based on different furnishing styles and decisions, conclusions can be drawn about the mood and needs of the residents. These findings may also have important implications for the real estate market.

1. The proximity type

Uwe Linke identifies people who clutter their apartment with lots of objects as a closeness type. These people value relationships and tend to collect a lot of things.

2. The status type

According to Linke's observations, single men in particular show their status through large televisions, loudspeakers and expensive technology. Women, on the other hand, prefer cozy and cozy furnishings.

3. The nostalgic

An apartment that has not changed for a long time can indicate nostalgia and that the residents are holding on to the old.

4. The Compulsive Host

Large apartments with lots of amenities can cause residents to subconsciously feel compelled to constantly invite guests over to show off their social status.

5. The Compensator

According to Linke, advertising encourages people to compensate for a lot with trendy decorations. However, he advocates letting go of the past and adapting the facility to the resident.

The housing expert's findings have a direct impact on the real estate market. When potential buyers or renters better understand interior design styles and choices, they can more specifically search for properties that meet their needs. Real estate companies can also use these insights to better tailor their offerings to customers’ wants and needs. This can have a positive impact on customer satisfaction and the marketing of properties.

According to Linke, a good apartment supports the residents psychologically and serves as a retreat. It is therefore important that real estate companies and landlords take into account the psychological aspects of the furnishings and living space in order to create attractive offers.

By regularly analyzing and adapting the furnishings, residents can increase their well-being in their apartment. In the long term, this can lead to greater tenant satisfaction and a positive image of the property.
