When It Comes To Purchasing a Home~Women Find No Glass Ceiling
I’ve seen firsthand; single women emerging as the second largest group of buyers second only to married couples and twice that of single men. Only a few decades ago women found it difficult if not impossible to obtain a mortgage. But due to Federal legislation this all changed!
Women are waiting longer to marry. They find themselves developing careers and enjoy pursuing varied interests and activities. They quickly found they can be in control of their own destiny and want to utilize their rent money to build equity. By owning they can take the liberty of expressing themselves in their homes. They take pride in ownership and feel purchasing a home is a responsible route to becoming a self-sufficient adult.
We received 2 offers on a smaller home recently we just listed and both were from single women. Even our daughter-in law, a young professional purchased a home before meeting our son and getting married. She derived much pleasure from decorating the home to suit her personality. Owning her own home made it possible to care for her 2 dogs plus she had the added value of tax benefits home ownership afforded her.
Recently the New York Times carried this interest article:http://www.npr.org/2013/04/22/176837073/moving-out-and-buying-in-single-ladies-emerge-as-homeowners?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=share
