Compared

Are these sentences correct:

1) His house was very tidy compared to other single men I had seen.
2) His house was very tidy as compared to other single men I had seen.

I don't think they work because they seem to be comparing 'his house' with 'single men' and not 'the houses of other single men'.
But I think people say things like these.

Gratefully,
Navi.
