I get emails daily about real estate and trends and a recent one caught my eye shared by LendingTree. Single women own more homes than single men which made me think about last year. I represented four single women who bought a home and no men, so I decided to read the article. Here are the bullet points:
Across the nation’s 50 states, single women own 2,719,923 more homes than single men. Single women own 11.14 million homes, while single men own 8.42 million.
The homeownership gender gap has increased slightly since 2022. The current homeownership gender gap is 14,780 housing units larger than 2022’s.
The homeownership gender gap is largest in Delaware and Connecticut. Homeownership gender gaps of 5.23 and 5.06 percentage points, respectively, make Delaware and Connecticut the only states where the homeownership gender gap tops five percentage points.
Single women own the largest share of homes in New Mexico, Mississippi and West Virginia. In New Mexico, 15.26% of owner-occupied housing units are owned by women who live by themselves. In Mississippi and West Virginia, that figure is 15.07% and 14.73%, respectively.
I found this interesting and wanted to share, so if you are a single woman considering buying a home on your own, you are not alone!
