AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

"that we still reside in" is a subordinate clause, modifying "house". The sentence is just complex, not compound-complex.

Yes, "We stayed in hotels for a while, until we found an affordable house that we still reside in." is a compound-complex sentence as it consists of two independent clauses ("We stayed in hotels for a while" and "we still reside in") connected by a conjunction "until" and a dependent clause ("that we still reside in").

I apologize for the error in my earlier response. You are correct, "that we still reside in" is a subordinate clause modifying "house" and it does not create a second independent clause. Therefore, the correct classification of the sentence is complex, not compound-complex. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
