What Your Home Might Be Telling You: A Southern House Personality Quiz
By Allison Cobb & The Cobb Group | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty
Let’s face it—homes in the South have personality. From wraparound porches whispering “sweet tea o’clock” to marshfront homes humming with charm, our homes don’t just sit pretty… they speak. But the question is: what is your home trying to tell you?
Is your house secretly a sassy Southern Belle? Or maybe it’s a no-nonsense saltbox with a thing for seagrass rugs and hurricane shutters. Take our playful personality quiz and discover what kind of Southern home fits your lifestyle—and maybe your future dream home, too.
And if you're searching Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, or anywhere in the Lowcountry for your perfect home match, we've got you covered.
Start the Quiz: What Kind of Southern Home Are You?
Grab a pen, your favorite porch drink, and let’s go!
1. Your ideal Saturday morning looks like:
A) Sippin’ on sweet tea, gossiping with neighbors from the porch swing
B) Farmer’s market haul, then DIY herb garden time
C) Yoga at sunrise, then off to brunch at Hudson’s on the Dock
D) Golf cart ride to the clubhouse with a Bloody Mary in hand

A) Antique chic—heirloom silver, monogrammed everything
B) Coastal calm—shiplap, driftwood, and all things breezy
C) Minimalist modern—clean lines, big windows, bigger vibes
D) Traditional with a twist—built-ins, crown molding, pops of color
3. Pick your dream porch:
A) Double front porches with rocking chairs and haint blue ceilings
B) A screened porch overlooking the marsh with pluff mud views

Your Results Are In!
Mostly A’s: The Grand Dame of the Lowcountry
You're timeless, graceful, and the unofficial mayor of your neighborhood. Your house has history—and you’re proud of it. You live for porches, polished floors, and hospitality that comes with a monogrammed napkin.
What Your Home Might Be Telling You:
“Protect me with love, preserve my bones, and never forget to hang the ferns!”
Your Match: A historic cottage or Southern Colonial in Old Town Bluffton or Beaufort.
Mostly B’s: The Coastal Naturalist
You love an oyster roast, wild bird sightings, and a hammock under Spanish moss. Your home is breezy, beachy, and barefoot-friendly.

“Keep me open, airy, and connected to nature. Don’t forget the citronella!”
Your Match: A marshfront cottage or lagoon-view home in Palmetto Bluff or Hilton Head Plantation.
