Real Estate Planning

Women and Home Ownership

Whether single or married, owning one’s home is still the dream of most Americans. Record numbers of single women are buying homes; more than one in five home buyers are single women, with single women making up more than one-third of the growth in real estate ownership since 1994. Fortunately for everyone, the U.S. government supports tax law that is favorable to home ownership. Since buying a home is the single biggest investment most people make in their lifetime, the financing becomes an integral part of your financial plan.

Fact: As recently as the 1970s many banks refused to offer financing to women and women’s incomes were not considered when qualifying for home loans. We've come a long way.
