Knowing that it is important to study the mindset of the LGBT community as it pertains to homebuying, and with the Supreme Court preparing to rule this June on marriage equality, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and NAGLREP have teamed up to conduct the largest survey of LGBT homebuying preferences. Key findings of the research include:
