Neither really want the split-level, but it's the only option that offers what both of them want. This is an example of which conflict response style?

This is an example of compromising.

Explanation:

When it comes to conflict response styles, we can think of five ways of dealing with conflict: accommodating, avoiding, compromising, collaborating, and competing.

Compromising is the response style in which both parties try to find a solution that is mutually partially satisfactory. In other words, everyone involved will get a part of what they wanted, even if they do not get to have everything they first demanded. They will both have to let go of certain desires and find a middle ground. That is what Tyla and her husband did. They found a house that neither of them initially desired, but that will partially serve the demands that they both made.
