Owning a home seems to be the traditional American dream, but it’s not a deal-breaker. It seems almost 2 out of 3 of adults say that owning a home doesn't  have any significant advantage in terms of "attracting" potential dates.  But yet around 28% of adults "prefer" someone who owns a home.  Digging deeper,  when breaking down the genders 36% of Women say they have a preference for dating someone who owns a home and only 19% of Men prefer to date a homeowner.

Owning a home shows commitment. But, being a homeowner doesn't necessarily mean that your interested in marriage. 43% of unmarried adults in the US say that owning a home is not an indication of someone's desire to be married or serious. However, millennial's do have a higher percentage of equating home ownership to commitment and stability.

Have Roommates?

The 3rd wheel..  62% of those asked, say they would prefer date someone who lives by themselves. Interesting fact:  most men prefer to date women who live alone in a city and most women prefer to date men who live alone in the suburbs.
