I am looking for a few smart women!I work with many buyers and sellers of real estate and would hardly turn down work, but my niche is single women buyers. And for purely selfish reasons. Out of all the buyers I've driven around and helped find homes, I have the most fun with the single girls. Don't get me wrong, I really like marketing houses for sale because I am good at it, but sometimes girls just wanna have fun!
And not coincidentally, 50% of the homes I have sold were to single women. The statics tell the whole story:
- The single female segment of the homebuyer population accounted for 18% of all homebuyers in 2004.
- Single women purchased approximately 1 in 5 homes in 2003, while more than one in ten were purchased by single men.
- More women (15.5 million) than men (11.8 million) lived alone. Among these, women were more likely than men to own their homes (56% vs. 47%).
- About one-quarter of the nation's nearly 8 million single mothers spend more than half of their incomes on housing, compared with 1/10 of households headed by single fathers.
- Over the time period of 1994-2002, the number of unmarried females owning homes climbed from 13.9 million to 17.5 million
