, a Los Angeles-based Realtor and consumer trends expert at the home-selling site Opendoor, is noticing more career-minded single women in the market to buy a home.

"More and more single women have been buying homes, and I expect to see this continue in 2020," de Jong says."Women are more career-focused now than previous generations, and we want to be smart with our money and make an investment that sets ourselves up for the future, rather than relying on marriage or waiting for a man to provide the life we want."

, vice president of public relations at Chase Home Lending, adds that"across the country, we are seeing women take the housing market by storm.", single women accounted for nearly 20 percent of home purchases in 2019, and that number is only continuing to grow.

Although some cities tout more single women owners than others, the data demonstrate that in all of the 50 largest metropolitan areas surveyed, single women own more homes than single men do, making for a kind of reverse gender gap.
