A house refers to a physical building with a roof. It can serve as a home or several homes. Somebody owns a house. You may or may not own your home. You may rent.
A home is relative the the person and context. It is a place where you belong, sleep and (probably) eat. People also use it to mean a place where they feel they belong. It can be an area.
I had friends who were born in the Appalacian mountans in central U.S. Even though they had a home (sometimes a complete house) that they lived in, they would talk to me about wanting to visit home - the mountains - even though they had not actually lived there in years.

A home is not a house. A home can be a tent or even a nest. A house is a building where people normally live in.

house emphasizes the building,home pays more attention to the place where there are ur family or some friends.That's to say the home is with some feeling with the family,but the house is just a building made by bricks,that's my understanding,hehe

house is a building, home is where you live. House A is where your friend lives, house B is your home.

House and Home are the same word and can be used interchangeably. In America, I believe House is a more formal word and Home is a more casual word.
