I thought this was an interesting study which I found from Peter's blog in Edmonton:
A new survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC of 1,000 people reveals that men and women shop differently when looking for a house.
Seventy percent of women surveyed know if they like a house the day they walk into it, as opposed to sixty-two percent of men. Even when it's not love at first sight, women aren't as as likely to revisit a house: thirty-two percent of men do so versus twenty-three percent of women.
Women prioritize family over their work: fifty-five percent of women surveyed said that living closer to their relatives is more important than living close to their job, compared to only thirty-seven percent of men.
Men are a little less likely to be worried about the security of a house. Just over half said security problems would make or break a real estate deal, while sixty-four percent of the women surveyed wouldn't buy a house if security was an issue.
One thing men and women do agree upon is a need for a work space in the home. Coldwell Banker says this has become an increasing trend over the last forty years.
