The poll was to probe their motivations and needs:
34% bought a home to be able to "decorate or renovate the way they want."

16 Comments on What Do Women Really Want When They Buy a House?
Ty, interesting information, which bank was it?
Those are interesting answers. Maybe it is the Canadian atmosphere.
Endre:
It was the Toronto-Dominion Bank with over a thousand branches across Canada.

Heath:
Could be the air or perhaps the water!

I work with groups who support low-income women and the number one comment I hear when they are asked why they want to buy a home is "I want to be able to paint my own walls". Since most homes have some version of off-white wall colors, it seems an odd motivator. But they are truly passionate about the idea. I wonder if landlords could keep their tenants happier by letting them pick their own wall colors?

It makes sense and I have a very successful landlord/ buyer who has very few vacancies and has happy tenants!

Ty that is a report that tells us a bit about how our society has changed. Had that survey been done in prior decades I bet kitchens, dishwashers, bathroom, vanities, etc. would have been at the top of the list.
Bob, I think they still are but those are material things and both men and women are looking for something more than just 'things' in a home.

Ty - TD's report identified some blogging topics as well as topics for our information packages.

Ty,
My experience is that women buy the kitchen and walk-in closets; guys buy the work shop.
Very interesting, Ty. As a woman I may have learned something about myself. LOL
Has there been a recent survey about what men want? I know when looking for our condo, my husband, who is the chef in the family, wanted the workable, updated kitchen and liked the more upgraded models.
Pam.
Terry: Or the other way round as per Pam's comment.
Pam: What people are looking for in a home and by whom is a great question to ask in any market rather than assume a gender bias. I am going to do a blog right now and ask, what do men want in a home?
Thanks
Ty
Wow. Ty, I never considered the obvious of women wanting to feel financially secure. Thanks.
John:
As women are taking control over their finaces (some have for years) it makes sense that one of their largest expenditures with or with out a parter is a home.
