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.
