A New Home or a Big Wedding? National Survey Says, More Adults Would Choose a New Home over Their Dream Wedding

A recent national survey by KB Home found that 92 percent ofAmerican adults say that if they were about to get married and werealso in the market for a new home, they would rather use the moneytowards a home versus using it for their dream wedding.

That's whyso many of them are choosing to put their hard-earned money intosomething that will provide a foundation for their entire lifetimetogether," said KB Home senior vice president of sales and marketing,Wendy Marlett. "A few of our homebuyers even hold their weddingceremonies in their new homes after moving in, making their new home apart of their celebration with friends and family. We're honored to bepart of so many couples just starting out their lives together."

The telephone survey of 1,000 adults, ages 18 and older wasconducted by KRC Research June 15-19, with a +/-3.1% margin of error.
