Female condo buyers

Recently, I found some interesting statistics on gender and real estate. (Interesting combination, isn't it?)

A poll recently conducted  by Ipsos-Reid, among women aged 20 to 45 who have purchased a home as an individual rather than jointly brought out the following details.

Their average age to purchased their first home was 29 years

  • 82 per cent are single
  • 80 per cent have no children
  • 49 per cent have a University Degree
  • 86 per cent still live in the last home they purchased
  • 81 per cent made one home purchase as an individual

 

These financially and well educated independent women indicated:

  • 71 per cent advised buying a home was a good investment
  • 61 per cent advised they did not want to pay rent anymore
  • 54 per cent had a desire to get into the housing market
  • 77 per cent the biggest worry prior to purchase was affordability/financial commitment

 

What are your thoughts?
