The Woman of the House

If you are in the process of selling your home, don't be surprised if a single woman turns out to be the buyer. According to the National Association of Realtors, single women purchased about one of every five homes sold, which is twice as many as single men purchase. This is a significant statistic in that the number of single men and women buyers was viturally the same a little over 25 years ago. Since then, the number of single women who are buyers has nearly doubled while the percentage of single men buyers has slipped one percentage point. With this in mind, sellers and their agents are increasingly gearing their marketing to women's needs, desires, and concerns.

Hint: Prior to 1974, when Congress amended the Fair Housing Act to top sex discrimination, it was difficult for single women to get mortgages om their own names.

Record numbers of single woman are buying homes. If you are a single woman who wants to buy a home, the good news is the market is wide open for you.
