Recent Survey Reveals Why Your House May Determine if You’re Single or Not!

A recent survey by Trulia revealed that while 63 percent of unmarried respondents said it doesn’t matter to them whether the person they date owns a home or rents one, 36 percent of women and 19 percent of men taking the survey said they’d prefer to date a homeowner vs. 2 percent of men and women who said they’d prefer to date a renter.

Yes, that is right, if you are a renter you are in the “undesireable” category, sorry to say.

A slightly higher percentage of women (36 percent) than men (33 percent) said owning a home was an indication someone may be serious about being in a long-term committed relationship such as marriage, but 43 percent of respondents overall said homeownership was not a signal that someone was ready to settle down.

Which was more of a turn off between renters or those living with parents?  Living with parents of course. Only 5 percent of unmarried adults said they would prefer to date someone who lived with their parents.

Unmarried women were more likely than unmarried men to prefer to date someone who lived alone in a house in the suburbs (37 percent vs. 29 percent). Unmarried men were more likely than unmarried women to prefer to date someone who lived alone in an apartment in the city (32 percent vs. 25 percent).

When it came to amenities that make people fall in love with a home, however, both genders agreed: master bathrooms and walk-in closets rule. More than half also considered a gourmet kitchen and outdoor deck important.

So there you have it, if you are single and want to do something about it, analyze your living situation, call us or email and make yourself more desirable today!:)
