Men are from Mars...

With the conclusion of Super Bowl Sunday, an event widely recognized as the kick-off to the spring home-buying season, a nationwide survey of existing homeowners reveals that men and women operate differently during the home-buying process. In fact, nearly half of those women surveyed (43%) said they did not spend enough time shopping for their new home, while less then one quarter of all men surveyed (23%) said they spent too much time during the buying process. The survey was conducted from January 16-19, 2007 by Countrywide Home Loans.

Interestingly, the survey revealed that both men and women saw room for improvement in the way they approach the home-buying process. Those surveyed said that when buying their next home, they would:

1) Save more money for down payment and closing costs (25%)
2) Learn more about the home buying process before they began their home purchase negotiations (25%)
3) Purchase a new house instead of an older home (22%)
4) Buy in a different neighborhood (21%)
