The housing market is a hot topic right now with house prices soaring from the heady heights of Auckland, trickling down through the rest of the country. Houses represent different things to different people, but ultimately they are our sanctuaries, spaces of respite, places where we can drop our guards and just 'be'. Here are our favourite songs about house and home.
