We have cats and we are planning a two months exchange. Just need to have a back up person come check on them when our guest wants to go away for a little bit. I guess it is not for everyone. ---

Long-term exchanges allow property owners to swap real estate for extended periods instead of selling. This strategy helps investors gain stable income and long-term appreciation. Real estate agents assist by evaluating properties and managing legal agreements. Such exchanges are ideal for markets with limited liquidity but strong future potential. They also help diversify portfolios while minimizing tax burdens. Overall, long-term exchanges create sustainable growth opportunities in real estate.

Hello everyone, We are looking for a long-term home exchange of around one school year, ideally from the end of August 2026 until July 2027. Our preference would be for an English-speaking country. We are a family of seven: two parents in our forties, both business owners who can work remotely, and five children aged 5 to 13. We are used to home exchanges and love the cultural and human experience they provide. Our home is a manor house located in Annonay, in the ArdĆØche region of France. The area is calm, surrounded by nature, and close to excellent primary and secondary schools (primary, middle school, and high school). We also have a few pets to take care of. If someone is interested in a long-term exchange or would like more information about the house, the region, or our family, feel free to contact us. > **[Ɖchange de maison : Annonay - Maison de Agnes - ArdĆØche/France - HomeExchange](https://www.homeexchange.fr/maison-vacances/2264184)** > > AVANT DE NOUS ECRIRE : Sā€™il vous plaĆ®t veuillez noter quā€™il sā€™agit de notre rĆ©sidence principale : nous ne faisons que d Looking forward to connecting! ---

Hi, Iā€™ve been trying to figure out how to access long term exchange opportunities on the site for a while. Iā€™ve been a member for 20+ yrs and have had great success. I recently spent 1 month in Barcelona and am looking for another month long exchange in either April/May or Sept/Oct of 2026. My top choices would be London, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Stockholm. Having said that please reach out if you have interest in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.

Hi everyone! My name is David and I live in La CoruƱa (Spain), but Iā€™m offering my small house in **Marco de Canaveses, Northern Portugal**. Iā€™m looking to trade the peaceful green hills for some Central European city vibes! **What Iā€™m offering:** A humble house in the heart of Northern Portugal (in the Douro Valley). If you like nature, wine and tranquility, this is it. During the summer, youā€™ll have access to a **massive swimming pool** to survive the Portuguese sun. **Space for everyone:** The house can host **up to 6 people** , so itā€™s perfect for families or a group of friends. On my end, itā€™s just me (and maybe my girlfriend visiting), so Iā€™ll be a very quiet guest in your home. **What Iā€™m looking for:** I work 100% remotely on **CET time (9h-18h)**, so Iā€™m a bit of a ā€œdesk nerd.ā€ I need a **centric apartment** in cities like **Prague, Budapest or Krakow** (altought open to other options) with a **comfortable desk and a chair** that wonā€™t destroy my back. I promise to be ā€œinvisibleā€ during working hours and out exploring (and tasting your local beers) the rest of the time! No parties, no dramaā€”just a quiet guy working and traveling. **The ā€œStay as long as you wantā€ Deal:** Iā€™m looking for a **1-month stay** , but Iā€™m super flexible. In fact, this is my secondary residence so you can actually stay in my house for longer if you want to truly experience the Portuguese ā€œslow livingā€. **Why Marco de Canaveses?** - **The Food:** You havenā€™t lived until youā€™ve tried the local _Vinho Verde_ and the amazing Portuguese gastronomy (itā€™s delicious and very affordable!). - **Location:** You are a 1 hour train/car ride away from the stunning **Douro Valley** (UNESCO World Heritage) and the vibrant city of **Porto**. - **Peace:** Itā€™s the perfect place to disconnect while still having everything you need nearby. Check out my home here: [https://www.homeexchange.com/holiday-home/2335063](https://www.homeexchange.com/holiday-home/2335063) If you fancy a Portuguese summer by the pool while I take over your desk in the city, letā€™s talk!

Bonjour! I just saw your post and was wondering if an exchange in Montreal would be of interest to you? We are a family of 4 living in Verdun, a bilingual neighborhood alongside the fleuve St-Laurent and we are considering an 1/year exchange in France to be closer to my mother who moved to France. Our kids go to a bilingual school (English-French). I would be more than happy to introduce you to the school principal.

## Seeking long-term exchanges in various European city centers ā€” ideally one month, flexible _Lagos, Portugal ā†’ Europe Ā· mid-July to late-September/early-October Ā· Adults only_ Hello, fellow home exchangers. Evanne and Ray here ā€” a retired, active, and curious couple ā€” offering our beachside townhouse in Lagos, Portugal in exchange for a European city experience. _ **What weā€™re offering** _ Our _ **whitewashed Algarvian townhome** _ sits within a 15-minute walk of the Lagos Historic Center and the celebrated beaches of Praia Dona Ana, Camilo, Porto de MĆ³s, Ponta da Piedade ā€” and, of course, the spectacular grottos. The neighborhood puts you close to everything while keeping the noise and crowds at a comfortable distance. A note on the home itself: our three-story layout features staircases and open-level terraces ā€” full of character, but best suited for adults. It is not the right fit for children or teenagers. _ **Where we want to go** _ Weā€™re looking for _ **city-center flats in European cities** _ that are new to us. Weā€™ve traveled widely across the continent over the years, so we tend to get excited about destinations off the well-worn capital-city circuit. Our current wish list includes _ **Lyon, Ghent, Copenhagen, Budapest, Munich, and Milan ā€” but weā€™re genuinely open** _. If you have a city to offer, weā€™d love to hear about it. _ **Lisbon** _ is a special case: weā€™d welcome an exchange there in late spring or late fall/early winter, when itā€™s quieter and more local. If youā€™re a Lisbon exchanger with flexibility across seasons, letā€™s talk. _ **About us** _ We are published writers, photographers, videographers, and musicians ā€” curious about the world, and committed to experiencing it with intention. Weā€™re quiet, responsible, easy-going non-smokers who love good food, home cooking, local markets, and excellent coffee. We bring a stellar track record to every exchange. As longtime users of Airbnb and Sabbatical Homes ā€” mostly month-long stays, with a few shorter ones ā€” _ **our guest reviews are consistently 5-star, and we are always welcome back** _. The reason is simple: wherever we stay is where we live, and we take pride in caring for our surroundings. _ **Dates & flexibility** _ Our travel window runs from _ **mid-July through late-September/early-October** _, ideally one destination per month. Duration is something weā€™re happy to shape around the right partnership ā€” _ **weā€™re not rigid about the calendar** _. If the fit is right, weā€™ll find a way to make it work. _ **Sound like a match?** _ Good homes and good people are the whole point. We would love an exchange with digital nomads, empty-nesters, and curious couples (or four adults) that want to experience memorable seaside living in exchange for their European city-center home. If that sounds like you, _ **get in touch** _ ā€” weā€™d love to explore the possibilities. > **[Home exchange: Lagos - Evanne and Ray's home - Lagos/Portugal - HomeExchange](https://www.homeexchange.com/holiday-home/2053548)** > > Looking out over a gorgeous garden, our three-floor townhouse offers a different view from each balcony/terrace.
