Two women in a kitchen, highlighting single women property ownership gap

🔑 Did you know that 75% of single women have never bought property by themselves?

July 11, 20251 min read

For many women, especially those recently divorced or emerging from domestic violence situations, this statistic can feel overwhelming — a barrier that seems insurmountable. But here’s the truth: taking that step towards property ownership is not only possible but empowering.

Questions to consider:

  • How will they navigate the complex property market?

  • How will they secure financing confidently?

  • How will they build a support network for guidance and reassurance?

Key points to remember:

  • Education is the first step — understanding your rights and options.

  • Building a trusted team is crucial — from lenders to real estate agents.

  • Proactive planning and clear goals make the journey smoother.

  • Every woman’s situation is unique; personalized advice is essential.

Reality Check:

Real estate and finance industries have traditionally been male-dominated, which can sometimes make women feel overlooked or unsure. That’s why working with a female buyers’ agent like Sally from Baxter & Mason Property Buyers Agent can make a real difference — she understands the specific challenges women face and advocates fiercely on their behalf.

Teaching points:

  • Empowerment through education: Know your rights, options, and the process.

  • Building a support network: Surround yourself with trusted professionals.

  • Financial literacy: Understand your borrowing capacity and options.

  • Confidence in decision-making: Trust your instincts and seek advice when needed.

Common Challenges:

  • Overcoming self-doubt or imposter syndrome.

  • Navigating the financial landscape without prior experience.

  • Finding properties that meet your needs and budget.

  • Managing emotional stress during the buying process.

Success is built on knowledge, support, and self-belief. Remember, every step forward is a victory — your property journey is within reach. You don’t have to do it alone. Reach out, educate yourself, and take that empowering step today. 💪🏡
