A recent LendingTree study reveals that single women own approximately 76,569 more properties than single men in the U.S., totaling about 2.7 million more homes. Despite earning less, women exhibit a strong desire for homeownership, likely influenced by caregiving roles and the need for stability. The study identified New Mexico as having the highest percentage of single-women homeowners. Various states show significant disparities in gender homeownership rates, particularly Massachusetts, which ranks high in this gap. Education and the demand for skilled labor are contributing factors to women's greater success in acquiring homes.
Women are more likely to make sacrifices to buy a property than men are and tend to desire homeownership more. This is influenced partly by caregiving roles.
The demand for labor in Massachusetts is biased toward highly skilled laborers who have a bachelor's degree or higher, which supports women's homeownership through stable income.
