I'll go with B...though my reasoning might be false.

"...more likely to put money into stocks or certificates of deposit than they do into home improvements.

But then again, I could be wrong, because there isn't any ambiguity on the comparison.
Yep.

Phirozz,

what is the source of this question ?

Can you please write the official explanation for A and B.

Like uwhusky, I am confused with A and B.

I think B is wrong for wordy because it isn't necessary to have the second helping verb. I have to get it clear into my head on how these comparisons should work...
Yep.

B is ungrammatical because of presence of do.

do breaks the parallelism because the verb in the previous part of the sentence is are

When the real estate market is uncertain, homeowners are more likely to put money into stocks or certificates of deposit than they do into home improvements.

A is best.

When the real estate market is uncertain, homeowners are more likely to put money
- into stocks or certificates of deposit
than
- into home improvements.
