Wilted Bride (Outtake)

Originally uploaded by Special

According to the Joint Center for Housing, there are reasons why single women buy real estate at more than twice the rate of men:

1. Incomes are growing
2. Financial independence
3. More women are graduating from college
4. Women are living longer than men
5. Women are marrying later in life — if at all
6. Availability of mortgages
7. Women seek a sense a permanence and security through their home and still want to ‘nest’ married or not.

What’s your reason?
