I recently discussed how single female buyers make up the second largest share of the buyer‘s market. Today’s female focus is on … homework (and how women tend to be pretty great at doing it!)
From my 10+ years in real estate I can assure you of this: House-hunting women know what they want. They usually arrive to our initial meetings extremely prepared. Whether they’re first-time buyers or looking to upgrade to a dream home or downsize to an eco-condo, etc., women have done their research. And this clarity is a great start for the biggest purchase of your life.
And preparedness can look all different ways:
- Familiarizing yourself with the vocabulary of home purchasing
- Taking the time to think! Thinking about your Must-Haves (Neighborhood, style of home, price point, schools, walk + bike-abilities)
- Knowing your deal-breakers. What if it’s a great house but it’s on a busy street? (For a parent or a cat-owner, this could be a no-no.) What if the lot is giant? That could mean yard-work galore (or paying someone else to do it.)
Whatever your homework looks like, hats off to the women who do it! And happy Women’s History Month!
