10 Cities Where Women Are Buying Homes
Single women make up a bigger percentage of homebuyers in these cities compared with other U.S. locations.
This story originally appeared on SmartAsset.com.
A National Association of Realtors report shows that single females accounted for 18% of home purchases in 2019 (whereas single males made up only 9% of purchases in the same year). Within two age groups – 54-63 years old and 73-93 years old – single women represented a higher percentage of total homebuyers (25%).
In this study, SmartAsset took a closer look at where women were buying homes the most. Using 2019 data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), we compared the number of approved mortgages for women with the number of approved mortgages for all homebuyers in almost 400 U.S. metro areas. For details on our data sources and how we put all the information together to create our final rankings, read the Data and Methodology section at the end.
