In the U.S., single women from Generation Z are outpacing their male counterparts in homeownership, representing 35% of homebuyers compared to 18% for single men, as reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This trend is notable amidst a broader decline in first-time buyers, which has reached the lowest level since 1981, with Gen Z making up only 4% of all homebuyers. The survey, conducted between July 2024 and June 2025, highlights the challenges faced by aspiring homeowners, particularly for Gen Z, who often carry student loans and have lower median incomes of $76,000 compared to older generations. Despite these hurdles, many Gen Z women are successfully purchasing homes, often with financial assistance from family or by utilizing community grants. For instance, Bri LaFluer purchased her home in Baldwinsville, New York, for $175,000 after saving diligently, while Mariah Berry bought a duplex in Charleston, Tennessee, for $218,000. The NAR data underscores a long-standing trend where single women are increasingly becoming homeowners, driven by a desire for independence and improved access to education and financial resources.
