According to Nat’l Association of Realtors, who is buying homes in 2016?
Let’s take a look at who is buying homes, by marital status:
Married 66%
Single females 17%
Unmarried couples 8%
Single males 7%
Interesting because from 2005 – 2010, 20% were single females, but
only 15% in 2015.
Homebuyers’ median income:
Married couples $99,200
Unmarried couples $84,800
Single males $69,600
Other $69,100
Single females $55,300
So although single females have lower incomes than others, they are a big group of buyers. Why?
1. Possess own home 38%
2. Change in family situation 11%
3. To be closer to family/friends 9%
4. Desire for smaller home 7%
5. Retirement 5%
