Happy Valentine's Day, renters!

We get no respect, no respect at all:
In a survey of 1,000 single people, more than a third of women and 18% of men said they would much rather date a homeowner than a renter.
Ouch!
Only 2% of women said they preferred to date a man who rents, while only 3% of men said they would choose a woman who rents over one that owns her home, according to the survey, which was conducted by Harris Interactive for real estate site Trulia.

Both sexes also clearly prefer it when there's no roommate in the picture; 62% of survey respondents, men and women, prefer to date singles who live alone. ...

Trulia also asked which home features are the biggest turn-ons. Number one turned out to be a master bath. Men (64%) love that private sanctum almost as much as women (75%) do.

Walk-in closets were cited by 55% of men and 72% of women and gourmet kitchens got 51% of the male vote and 62% of the female. Hardwood floors, outdoor decks and home theaters also came in high on the list.

  1. SF Gate had a pretty sweet infographic from Trulia about homeowners possibly getting more dates than renters...

  2. This just goes to show that both men and women of this age have grown wiser as ever! It clearly shows that they are now conscious with their choices and home ownership is something they consider when dating with the opposite gender! Quite funny but full of logic! Hey! It's the reality of life! LOL!

  3. Hello David & James,


     


    My name is Jesse Colombo and I’m the creator of TheBubbleBubble.com, a website
    recently built to warn about currently-expanding economic bubbles, including
    what I call the “CCC Aches” Bubbles: China, Commodities, Canada, Australia,
    College (U.S.), Healthcare (U.S.), Emerging markets & Social media as well
    as the post-2008 Northern and Western European housing bubble.  


     


    I’ve been a bubble blogger since early 2004, when I built a
    fairly popular website called “Stock Market Crash!” for the purpose of warning
    about the U.S. housing and banking bubble.


     


    I’m looking to introduce myself to fellow bubble bloggers
    and establish relationships for the purpose of sharing information on this
    important topic. I’m a great fan of Bubble Meter - keep up the great
    work!


     


    Would you believe that another housing bubble is brewing
    across Northern & Western Europe as we speak? http://www.thebubblebubble.com/european-housing-bubble/  
    It’s as if the world hasn’t learned a thing from the U.S. housing bubble and
    Global Financial Crisis.


     


    Looking forward to communicating with you,


     


    Jesse
