What Women Want!
The
demographics of single women buying homes are quite diverse. From young professional women in their 20's
to divorced mothers in their 40's, there are really no typical single women
making home purchases, and their needs are just as diverse. Overall, however, there do appear to be a
few trends in the market, and here is a list of what the average single woman
is looking for in a new home.
Most
spend less than $200,000
Prefer
two bedrooms or more
Less
likely to choose new construction
Will
compromise size and cost to get other amenities, but not location
Smaller
spaces are acceptable, and many prefer condos
Desire
security and safe neighbourhoods with a strong community feel
Look
for close proximity to stores, shopping, and fitness centres
Things To Consider
If you
are a single woman looking to enter the housing market, or know someone who is,
then what should be considered before making the leap into home ownership?
Essentially
the considerations are much the same as those of any home owner. Taking a realistic look at your financial
situation is always important. Seeking
out the advice of a qualified financial advisor and a REALTOR® can make the
process less difficult. It is also
important to be sure you are not entering into any unwise loan agreements that
may not be wise down the road, such as no-money-down deals. It is also important to have a clear picture
of what your needs as a home owner are, and that you don't settle for something
that will not work with your particular lifestyle.
