Summary
Single women are buying homes at more than twice the rate of single men in the U.S., and the gap between the sexes in the real estate market is growing. But why are single women more likely to own a home than single men? Is it because women in their 20s are signing up for the commitment of a commitment of 30 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single income, coming from a job that is volatile in an unstable market? Or is it because they don t need a man?

the modern woman life cycle is something i created here on pearl daily to show how modern women end
00:00:05.600
up alone with their cats i'm not going to go over it here but make sure to check out my previous
00:00:11.600
episodes where i cover the whole thing part of the modern woman life cycle is modern women get a bs
00:00:17.920
degree that is not going to make them any money and then get into the workforce and become a
00:00:24.560
professional this lifestyle includes buying cars they can't afford buying pets they can't afford
00:00:30.400
and now buying houses they can't afford modern women feel entitled to owning property just like
00:00:39.920
getting college degrees modern women buy houses in an effort to show the world that they don't need
00:00:46.400
a man women in their 20s are signing up for the commitment of 30 years and hundreds of thousands
00:00:53.200
of dollars on a single income coming from a job that is volatile in an unstable market
00:00:59.840
let's take a look at why more women are buying homes than single men new at seven skipping the
00:01:06.400
spouse and buying the house that is what a number of american women appears to be doing so again women
00:01:11.680
want men that are homeowners so we become the men we want to marry so now we're buying houses because we
00:01:17.840
want men with houses it's like they are buying up homes at more than twice the rate of single men
00:01:24.720
abc 7's roston matey spent the day looking into the trend and what it means for southwest florida
00:01:29.520
he's live from night from naples hey ross you're absolutely right krista single women all across
00:01:34.800
the country are buying up houses far more often than single men but is that the case here in southwest
00:01:40.400
florida it turns out it all depends on where you buy
00:01:43.120
single women i should say are buying houses twice as much as single men mike lombardo has sold real
00:01:50.640
estate for nearly three decades including in cape coral he says he definitely sees more women than
00:01:56.400
men interested in buying a home and he says there are several reasons why there's really no reason you
00:02:02.000
guys should pay rent as a man just find an old lady to have sex with you know i mean like i mean you
00:02:07.760
could go you guys you guys will you'll have sex with the old fat women for free like somebody's i
00:02:13.920
know one of you is doing it so you might as well get like some housing out of it just keep going older
00:02:17.840
and uglier until you find a woman with a house that's what i say one would be wealth building um
00:02:23.120
obviously you know owning your own home is correlated with building wealth uh another was
00:02:27.920
that sometimes uh single women have more responsibilities than single men 17 of homebuyers last year were
00:02:34.960
single women compared to seven percent single men and the gap between the sexes is growing according
00:02:40.880
to the national association of realtors valerie b has been a realtor in naples for 15 years she says
00:02:47.280
her clientele doesn't reflect the national numbers in my 15 years i've sold just a handful of properties
00:02:54.160
to single women that's because she sells almost entirely to retired couples people come here who
00:03:00.720
are purchasing a second family home both brokers agree though women are more built to buy than men
00:03:08.080
i think women are seeing the benefits of it and not really the downside of it and from the men i've
00:03:12.960
talked to a lot of them see the downside of it and just like you know hey i i don't want commitment
00:03:20.240
now national statistics show women struggle to make less money than they do make less money than men
00:03:26.160
they struggle to save money uh more so than their male counterparts and they struggle with saving
00:03:30.960
money but despite all that that's not stopping women from buying housing reporting live in naples
00:03:35.680
ross dimattei abc7 of course it's not like he's like they're making less and buying more obviously
00:03:42.080
that's what we do i just want a woman to prove me wrong please more in this store tonight the rate of
00:03:47.040
home buying by singles isn't the only place a gender gap is apparent in the real estate market
00:03:52.000
a report out last spring showed homes sold by single women fetch less than those sold by single
00:03:57.840
men here in southwest florida single women get an average 13 less for their homes than men selling
00:04:03.600
similar homes yeah because the men probably took care of it right and the answers are right like in
00:04:12.560
front of us all right there's been a lot of talk about the gender gap in tech but it turns out when
00:04:18.080
it comes to home ownership there's also a gender gap especially if you're single but in this case
00:04:24.320
women have a big lead over men and our business and tech reporter scott budman hit the streets to find
00:04:29.360
out why yeah it's a pretty wide margin to single women are more likely than single men to own homes
00:04:36.000
here and across most of the country so we went and asked single people and real estate agents
00:04:42.240
how did that happen vienna chambers knows the old school conventional wisdom when it comes to
00:04:47.920
home ownership i mean most times you think oh i mean the stereotype is that men will buy houses for
00:04:53.040
themselves and their family and that's their job and their role and she's not having it my goal since
00:04:57.600
i was very little is i want my first house to be purely bought by me you don't need a man i don't
00:05:01.920
need a man i don't need help i want it to be bought by me yeah i know women that buy houses and do you know
00:05:07.440
who takes care of the houses not them again this is all just status it's like i want to look cool
00:05:15.040
i want to brag that i have a house i want to post on facebook that i have a house so i'm going to
00:05:19.040
get a house and make it my dad's problem and my brother's problem and whoever other people's problem
00:05:25.520
a lot of single women feel the same way in fact according to the u.s census bureau more single women
00:05:32.080
in san jose own homes than single men they also own more homes in san francisco in fact the south bay
00:05:39.840
men just walk away they're like you guys want the houses you get the houses
00:05:45.360
they're just like please stop nagging you want the corporate america you can have corporate america
00:05:51.360
you guys want the military you can have the military i mean they just keep they're like no
00:05:56.560
thank you the largest margin of single women ownership nationwide and even though women still earn
00:06:02.720
less on average than men i wanted safety i wanted good neighbors i wanted close good schools um for
00:06:11.280
someday but you know not not now they want to be yeah because really you need two incomes um the
00:06:18.960
owners one thing that i believe as a woman i can say we all have in mind is the house the place to
00:06:26.480
regroup the the anchor this is what it is yeah we're so cut single women own 2.64 million more homes
00:06:40.320
than single men in the u.s let me let me finish this article so let me say that one more time single
00:06:46.640
woman on 2.64 million more homes than single men in the u.s okay on an average woman earns around
00:06:56.320
83 cents for every dollar they earn okay compared to men in the u.s single woman own a total of 10.76
00:07:04.480
million homes whereas single men own 8.12 million there's a difference of 2.64 and the gap is growing
00:07:11.120
in 48 out of 50 states single women were found to own more homes the two exceptions were north
00:07:16.400
and south dakota which only three people lived there and then louisiana alabama and south carolina had
00:07:22.080
the greatest share of single women homeowners louisiana alabama and south carolina on average across
00:07:29.680
the three states single women owned 15 percent of all owner occupied houses whereas single men owned
00:07:37.440
11 percent although men earn more than women on average that is not always true for younger generation
00:07:44.320
according to new pew research uh center younger women women younger than 30 earn more than men in
00:07:53.120
cities including new york dc and la yeah because women under 30 are getting all these
00:08:01.600
high-paying jobs doing nothing you know let me read that last sentence to you again
00:08:06.800
of course and that's why i'm really not with this i'm not the stay-at-home wife type that's going to
00:08:14.560
say all women should be stay-at-home mothers because you have to understand guys i'm one of 10 kids my
00:08:19.840
my mom's mom had 13 or um 9 and 13 on my dad's side or even like two i don't really see the problem
00:08:28.960
with a woman having a part-time job you know like my my grandma um was a farmer like her
00:08:36.560
husband was a farmer and they had to work on the phone how many hours a day do you think
00:08:41.840
they were working on the farm now i know the differences is it's outside of the home versus
00:08:46.880
inside of the home i totally get that but we have laptops youtube video you know there's video edit
00:08:57.200
there's so many jobs building websites freelance you know according to pew research center women
00:09:03.360
younger than 30 earn more than men women younger than 30 earn more than men in new york washington dc and
00:09:11.760
la what do you think about this these stats so nobody's gonna be honest everybody knows they're
00:09:19.440
just giving us jobs for being hot oh the first stats like surprised me a little bit but then i kind of
00:09:25.200
clicked for me where um remember the video we did on uh single moms versus dads that had kids yeah so the
00:09:32.400
far majority go with the mom right and at that point who needs a house if you have kids to provide
00:09:37.440
for versus no kids so if you kind of young women aren't having kids correlate or if you add the
00:09:44.800
single mothers with kids that are taking care of them in the custody versus a single dad that's taking
00:09:50.240
care of it in custody then the crossover there i can see how those numbers make sense but then but then
00:09:56.400
okay so if your argument's gonna be divorce i just pulled up the top states 10 states with the highest rates
00:10:01.280
of divorces new mexico's number one west virginia but what if you never got married what do you mean
00:10:07.440
what if you never in terms of the kids out of wedlock or kids you never get married where a couple
00:10:12.560
splits up they've never had a legal marriage it's so simple i mean it's like these guys are so much
00:10:17.520
smarter than me they really are i mean they're way more accomplished than me in every way how do i see
00:10:23.040
this and you don't that's what i don't get are they just filtering because it's so simple it's so simple
00:10:29.280
women are buying homes they can't afford and women are getting jobs for doing nothing there you go
00:10:35.440
there you go divorced you're just we're just parting ways uh so his house goes to her no he he never had
00:10:43.120
a house she need she has need for a house yes because she has the kids yeah but she's taking care of a
00:10:47.840
kid and and i'm not saying yes then probably he's having to make some less women aren't having kids
00:10:53.360
because they don't like kids it's so simple like women aren't having kids because we don't like
00:10:59.360
kids that much otherwise we'd be dying to have kids otherwise it wouldn't be like claw like please
00:11:06.960
have a kid you know money to be able to buy a house but you'd also need a house in that situation
00:11:12.160
more so than i understand you need a house yes there's a difference between needing a house and
00:11:16.880
and affording the house absolutely affording yes but who's like again that was where i was looking
00:11:22.480
at it but the more interesting thing is what about the pay inequality what about that whole argument
00:11:26.880
yeah i mean in three major cities this is news uh under 30 women are being paid more than men
00:11:33.120
that's that's sexist is that also can you pull up that article by the way just zoom in a little bit
00:11:37.440
is that maybe because uh women under 30 more of them are going to school and getting a higher education
00:11:42.240
and especially if you're in one of those three states they're very for equality in terms of pay
00:11:46.400
and equal opportunity then you have younger people who are higher educated by the way i want to
00:11:51.520
continue to read this article i'm actually curious right now okay so we talked about north dakota and
00:11:54.480
south dakota okay great in florida maryland and delaware the difference in home ownership between
00:11:59.040
single men and women was the greatest across the three single women on average owned around 4.5
00:12:06.480
more homes than men we're talking florida maryland and delaware there is no correlation between
00:12:11.680
those three states it's interesting women are paid less than men on average and earn 83.1 percent
00:12:17.440
of what men earn according to u.s department of labor the figure compares the median wage of all
00:12:22.960
full-time male and female workers in a country using data from 2020 and is the most comprehensive
00:12:28.720
analysis of the gender wage gap to date according to the data from national association of realtors in
00:12:33.520
2022 19 of buyers for single women whereas just nine percent were single men in 2015 single
00:12:39.840
women made up 16 of the buyers where single men made only you need to put me on these shows i'll
00:12:45.040
break it down i'm like and it's i'll be the i'll be like the least accomplished one on the panel it's
00:12:52.480
happened to me before but i don't know maybe like i'm like am i seeing things that you guys don't see
00:12:59.760
like how do you guys not see this i mean i know someone with six figures in debt and she bought a house
00:13:05.360
she makes a lot of money but she has six figures of debt do you know what i mean like
00:13:13.200
as most of you know i have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years but i
00:13:18.320
need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about
00:13:23.520
it's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and only fans hoes causing the societal
00:13:29.120
issues that we discuss on this show did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace
00:13:34.320
pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors this often includes estrogen from birth control the
00:13:39.680
average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week that's five grams of
00:13:44.640
plastic a week on average so it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what
00:13:50.320
the average was 50 years ago testosterone levels decline one percent a year and without a course

00:15:09.840
who thinks more long term by oh my god what a simp
00:15:20.640
who thinks more long term do you know women at all we own 80 percent of the world's debt patrick
00:15:29.120
80 percent of the world's debt is owned by women and you think we look more long term what do we spend
00:15:35.120
our money on botox houses we can't afford um high-end gym memberships what do men spend their money on
00:15:45.840
saying let me at least buy a house and you know make some kind of an investment this is a
00:15:53.120
and if they're single pet and they're dating then they're not paying for drinks popcorn at the movies
00:15:57.440
they're not paying for dinners yeah but they're paying for botox fake nails fake hair like the list
00:16:02.960
get plastic surgery i mean of course they got money to buy a house they're not they don't have
00:16:10.240
money to buy it it's like these guys are smarter than me how do they not see this spend you know
00:16:15.520
i mean because those girls it's they're single it's not that they're not dating you feel me rob
00:16:21.200
rob the rob is rob's rob's rob's in love yeah you're married 12 years that's nuts this is uh
00:16:28.400
everybody here spooked a little bit it's interesting stuff for sure yeah are you still spooked roger or
00:16:34.800
is this making you think a little bit i'm not i'm not making a lot of sense out of me too because i'm
00:16:39.840
trying to figure out why why those three specific cities it's very interesting states florida delaware
00:16:44.880
america well but also new york la la washington dc i mean actually you see the government's the biggest
00:16:51.680
employer right that makes sense but i can't figure out why the other two but by the way this is a uh
00:16:59.360
this is a story to okay men typically purchase homes that were 249 000 dollars last year compared to
00:17:04.160
women who purchased homes that were 230 that's not a big difference yeah it's not even 10 it's
00:17:08.080
five percent difference their sacrifices women are generally more uh more likely to make included
00:17:13.360
cutting out non-essential spending taking in second jobs it's kind of like what you're talking about
00:17:18.880
canceling the women are more likely to cancel vacation plans because they're the only ones that
00:17:26.560
go on vacation it's like 80 of female travelers are women women cut up but do you know how women cut
00:17:34.400
out non-essential spending because they label everything that they don't need is essential
00:17:40.160
they leave the gym and membership is essential the botox essential the boob job essential the groceries from
00:17:48.480
whole foods essential so they're like yeah we eliminated his spending that's how women balance
00:17:56.960
budgets they take out all the he buys video games and then she's like we got to cut that occasion plans
00:18:03.600
yeah okay there you go very interesting article i'd love to see more stats and data uh on uh i just can't
00:18:10.960
