🐽From Solo to Sold: How Single Women Are Owning the Market

Single women are rewriting the rules of homeownership—across every generation.

The latest NAR Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report reveals a powerful story of independence, strategy, and homebuying success. From Gen Z to the Silent Generation, single women are proving that when it comes to real estate, they’re ready to win—and ReadySetLoan is here to cheer them on every step of the way.


🔍 Generational Breakdown: Who’s Buying?

While Gen Z made up just 3% of the homebuying market, 30% of those Gen Z buyers were single women—the highest proportion across all age groups.


That trend continues through the generations:

  • Younger Millennials: 15% single female buyers

  • Older Millennials: 18%

  • Gen X: 18%

  • Younger Boomers: 20%

  • Older Boomers: 27%

  • Silent Generation: 25%


This data reflects one clear truth: women are independently driving demand in every corner of the market.


🐽 RSL Piggy Points: What Are They Buying?


Single female homebuyers across all generations are leaning toward practical, right-sized housing:

  • Gen Z buyers favored townhouses (23%) and condos (20%)

  • Older Boomers and the Silent Generation followed suit, with 34% and 35%, respectively, choosing compact, lower-maintenance homes

These choices reflect both affordability and lifestyle alignment—and at ReadySetLoan, we see this as a smart move rooted in empowerment, not compromise.


💰 Down Payments: Generational Wisdom Meets Creativity

From seasoned sellers to first-time buyers, single women are finding ways to make their down payments work:

  • Gen X and Boomer women frequently use proceeds from a prior home sale

  • Millennials, especially younger ones, lean on personal savings and gifts from family or friends—with 43% of Younger Millennials reporting financial help from loved ones

Quote from Neil Caron, Area Manager at CMG Mortgage:“We’re seeing strong financial strategy from single female buyers. Whether it’s leveraging equity or piecing together creative sources, these women are prepared and focused.”
