Values stability.

You crave an addictive substance. By choosing the word “crave”, it sounds like you are pathologizing the choice to buy a home, perhaps from a need to validate your personal life choice to rent in spite of facing a forced vacation of your residence. Or perhaps you have financial interests in real estate companies that manage apartments.

I think that's somewhat appropriate. I live in Australia where buying a home does seem more of a pathology than a smart economic choice.
