Women home buyers – the statics

Many women are informed homebuyers with good negotiating skills, and more now have decision-making power.  Women do the research and get very involved.

Experts say single women of all ages, including those with college degrees and/or children, are buying homes and investing in rental properties. Despite having average incomes lower than those for single males, single women are less likely to finance home purchases and tend to carry smaller mortgages when they do.  Women seek security, and nesting opportunities, as well as the tax benefits.

The National Association of Realtors’ 2010 Home Buyers and Sellers Survey indicates that single women accounted for 20 percent of buyers last year, and they are twice as likely as single males to purchase a home. WINKS (Women with Income and No Kids) will account for close to 50 percent of Generation Y households, and they prefer urban and walkable communities, says Home Builders Association of Dayton Executive Director Walt Hibner.
