While there are many discussions about this topic, some people have noticed a consolidation of several vendor services that real estate agents and real estate brokers use.

Integrated, single platforms of services are rapidly replacing the piecemeal approach that required agents and brokers to go to multiple vendors to obtain the services they need. What's even more surprising is that many of these new platforms are available at no charge.

What Type of Real Estate Single Women Are Buying

Women are rapidly becoming the silent majority in the real estate marketplace. While everyone pays attention to the needs of the "typical family," very few people are addressing the specific needs of single female real estate buyers and sellers.

The answer is single women. Not only are single women buying more condominiums, NAR reports that 22 percent of all home purchases are made by single women as opposed to only 9 percent for single males. In other words, single Gen X and Gen Y women are buying more than twice as much real estate as compared to Gen X and Gen Y men.

Demographics on Single Women Real Estate Buyers

Consider the following facts:

1. According to the U.S. Census, 51 percent of all women in the United States live without a spouse.

2. Women now account for 57 percent of all college graduates.

3. Women continue to outpace men in terms of longevity. Women between the ages of 50 and 70 are not only inheriting their parents' wealth, many have had their own careers where they have accumulated substantial sums of their own money. If they were married, they may also inherit (or obtain in a divorce settlement) part of what their husbands have accumulated as well.

4. While women continue to be under-represented as CEOs in Fortune 500 companies, an increasing number of small businesses are now owned and operated by women. A substantial number of these women work from home.

If you're looking for a good source of business in a slowing market, become a niche specialist who works with single women. To better serve this increasing segment of our market, hone in on what different aspects of the single female market wants.
