For Most Single Women, Homeownership Is A Pipe Dream

A friend told me that, when he was young, his single mother tried to get a loan to buy a house, but all the banks turned her down. In spite of persistent discrimination, more and more single women have become homeowners in recent decades. By 2019 25% of single women were homeowners. But the pandemic hit women hard, as they suffered the most job losses. Women also took on most child-care responsibilities, often quitting jobs to do so. Since Covid hit them so hard and home prices have risen so fast, single women have bought few houses in the past two years.

Owning a home enables us to build wealth. By the time homeowners pay off their mortgages, their house is often their most valuable asset. As they approach retirement, 70% of single women’s wealth is in their homes. Houses account for much more of single women’s wealth than single men’s wealth or married couple’s wealth.

Although Covid is fading, skyrocketing home prices make homeownership seem impossible for many. Nearly 60 percent of single women who are heads of households say they can’t afford to buy a house and can’t imagine how they ever could. With soaring inflation, as evidenced by rapidly rising rents and gas prices, many single women can’t even imagine starting to save for a down payment on a home.

Are you renting or do you own a home? If you own a home, how long ago did you buy it and how did you save enough for the down payment?

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking
    into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and
    tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just
    so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has
    83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!
