All The Single Ladies!!
Let’s get you prequalified to buy YOUR home!
Single women now hold a clear lead in U.S. homeownership, owning roughly 2.72 million more homes than their single male counterparts. LendingTree data shows they outpace men in 47 states, while Pew Research reports that women account for 52% of the 5.2 million homes owned by unmarried individuals. Factors such as women under 30 out-earning men in several major cities and their higher representation as single parents and caregivers contribute to this trend.
Despite their strong buying presence, solo female homeowners still face a pricing gap. Yale researchers note women tend to pay about 2% more when purchasing and earn about 2% less when selling. Yet their preference for practical, secure spaces is influencing homebuilders to prioritize smaller, family-focused designs—a trend that may define the upcoming spring and summer markets.
