Why are single women buying more homes than men in the United States, and what does that say about where society is headed? In this video, I’m diving into a fascinating (and controversial) shift happening right now at the intersection of real estate, relationships, and culture. Single women now outnumber single men in homeownership by 6 million in the US. But this isn’t just a housing trend—it’s a reflection of changing expectations around feminism, the role of the patriarchy in domestic partnerships, financial independence, and the male loneliness epidemic.
In this video I’m unpacking:
Why many single women are choosing homeownership over marriage.
How feminism and the patriarchy have shaped modern relationships.
The rise of financially independent women in today’s housing market.
Why men and women are experiencing relationships, and life, so differently right now and what this shift means for the future of real estate, and possibly even society as we know it.
