Men and Women React to Houses Differently

I understand that both men and women want a great place to live. However they actually treated the house-hunting process differently. I thought that it was interesting that both men and women liked "outdoor living spaces" and "open floor plans", although in different percentages. Also it was interesting how they "crush" on houses in or out of their price range, and how easily they fall in and out of love with their current "crush." This article definitely confirms that, although they want to behave logically when it comes to a house purchase, most people react emotionally to houses and have "real estate love." This is why I view my job as being a matchmaker between sellers and buyers OR buyers and homes.
