Check this out! Especially all my LADIES!!! ⬇️
In 1930, about 50% of single women and about 12% of married women worked outside the home.
By 1970, the percentage of single women was about the same, but the percentage of married women had jumped to 40%.
Women who had traditionally only worked before marriage was now continuing to work or returning to work after marriage.
Unfortunately, this participation in the workforce didn’t influence lenders.
Married women were generally not able to obtain credit, including mortgages, except under their husbands’ names or with their husbands as co-signers.
In 2019, more than twice as many single women as single men bought homes (19% vs. 9%).
In the 50 largest metropolitan areas of the country, single women own more homes than single men, with an average difference of 3.7%.
That’s exciting news!!!
