here I'm going to make a list of some of the idioms that they include HOME and HOUSE
example:
A: How did the meeting with Andy's parents go?
B: It was great. We all get on like a house on fire.
example:
A: Hello! we are so late, our plane was delayed.
B: Don't worry. just sit down and relax, and make yourselves at home! I'll put the kettle on.
example:
A: Did you read those excellent reviews in the local paper about the school play?
B: yes, I did. Apparently, it brought the house down.
A: I was so sorry to hear that your cat had died.
B: Thank you. When I saw her empty bowl, it really brought home to me the fact that I'd never see her again.
"his sarcastic comments really hit home" means that his sarcastic comments really hurt my feelings.
A: I'm going up there. It looks a bit dangerous!
B: Oh, Come on! It's actually as safe as houses, and the view from the top is fantastic.
