More Women Entering the Housing Market

According to a Royal Lepage a poll in April 2007, more and more women are buying and repairing their own homes.  Some 30% of single never married women and 45% of divorced, separated or widowed women are homeowners.  More younger women plan to buy their own homes rather than rent.  They aren’t waiting for Mr. Right to buy a home with. 

They also say they would forego a large wedding reception to have a bigger down payment to put on their first home.  The poll gives regional information for Edmonton:  “ Edmonton has experienced an increase in women buying real estate on their own over the past five years and a steady rise is anticipated to continue.  Women are entering the housing market for several reasons and with different needs:  first-time homebuyers are typically 25-35 years old, well educated, and are looking for a condominium or townhouse that offers security and a maintenance-free lifestyle.
