Baby, You Can Drive My Car......

Right Into My Oversized Garage.....

It seems that America's love affair with cars extends to their homes. Despite rising gas prices, the percentage of home buyers who think having a garage with two or more spaces is very important has risen dramatically over the past three years.

According to the 2007 Profile of Buyer's Home Feature Preferences, 57 % of home buyers in 2006 said an oversized garage was very important, compared with only 41% in 2003-2004.

Other features high on buyer's lists included central air conditioning, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and a home that is cable/satellite TV-ready.
