    I thought " we have a house" was the answer why not?

      It is because " we have a house" means "у нас есть дом".

        Does putting дома in a sentence really change the position of the stress from the second syllable to the first?

          Depends on if its genetive singular or nominitive plural. If its genitive singular (or the adverb, до́ма, meaning at home) then the stress is on the first vowel, if its nominative plural then its on the second, дома́

            Why not "в нас дом"?

            "At our place" would be an alternative version?

            Should be. After all in English we say "my place" meaning "my home"

            I don't got why the у is there.

            Because "у нас" means something like "at ours", so it is "at our (at) home".

            Is it the same than наше дома? Because наш means "our", this what I've learned so far :s

              I think this means "our home" not "at our home"

                What is wrong with "At our house?"

                  Why not "by our home"?

                      A normal way to express this in English would be “at our place”. This should be accepted.
