Home Buying is a Woman's World

Growing up in a typical baby-boomer family I was raised with many values. I treasure and preach several of these as they're all that I know. However, I've learned in the past six months that one of those principles I grew up with is no longer relevant in today's real estate market. Brace yourself gentlemen for reality: It's a woman's world.

Coming from a family where Dad brought home the paycheck and Mom took care of the household, this concept was interesting to me. Single women putting money down on $200,000+ townhomes and condos all over the city. I've seen it downtown, in Tremont, in Ohio City, and now the West Shore. What's more? Women buying their dream homes before they meet Mr. Right is not the only trend. Even when they HAVE met Mr. Right, they are still the ones doing the homework, picking the style, researching the neighborhoods, and (brace yourself again, guys) funding the down-payments.

Perhaps men just have a fear of commitment and would rent for longer periods of time. Maybe all the money they drop on little diamond rings drains their accounts for home-buying. There could be a lot of "maybes" that would still not explain this reality. When it comes to buying, City Living in Cleveland is very much a woman's world.
