Citing data from the U.S. Census Bureau, analysts at LendingTree, an online lending marketplace, recently revealed that single women nationwide own approximately 2.71 million more homes than their male counterparts. This statistic gains significance when considering historical challenges faced by women in the home-buying process, including a persistent gender pay gap where women earn, on average, 82% of what men earn, as highlighted in a 2022 Pew Research Center analysis.



quote:

Despite these challenges, the trend of single women outpacing single men in homeownership is not a recent development. The National Association of Realtors has reported since 1981 that more single women than men have been purchasing homes each year. LendingTree's analysis indicates that this gap has widened in recent years, with single women owning 10.76 million homes in 2021 compared to the 8.12 million owned by single men. The gap further increased by an additional 70,000 homes in 2022.

A lot is cultural.
Men tend to be more career driven.
That lends more to apartment living early in career. As they won't stay in area more than a few years.

And on top of the notorious gender pay gap!

Truly queens of this world.

Really impressive for women considering they get paid $.70 for every $1 a man makes doing the same job. They must be really good with money.

My first home was bought, on my own, when I was about 23. There was no down payment requirement, at the time. Just my experience.

Maybe women also spend money they don’t have? They have higher levels of debt than men. Women buy too much house or a house they shouldn’t own at all. Maybe men stay on their budgets and are more frugal.

Must be nice to have man buy a house for you so you can divorce him and keep the house that he still pays for.

I think that's definitely a factor as well. Men are more likely to be willing to relocate and renting makes you more agile.

Women have it easy. All you have to be is halfway good looking, have a decent personality and be semi competent and you’ll go really far in life.

All the old blues and southern rock songs talking about slippin in and slippin out, turn your lamp down low, ramblin man, call me the breeze, this has always been a thing where women need and have a place to be, and the men come and go.
