A recent industry study found the following about women homebuyers:

Women may be inclined to make up their mind quickly.
—When asked how long it took before they knew their home was “right” for them, almost 70% of women had made up their mind the day they walked into the house. Only 23% of women felt the need to visit the home a second time to make a purchasing decision.

Women would rather live closer to their extended family than to their job.
—55 percent of women find it more important to be closer to their extended family (those that do not live in their household) than to their job.

A home’s security is a deal-breaker for women.
—64 percent of women said that if they found the home of their dreams but had concerns about its security, they would no longer be interested.

Couples say that no one “wears the pants in the relationship” in terms of major financial decisions.
—When asked who wears the pants in the relationship (when it comes to major financial decisions, such as purchasing a home), almost 70% of respondents living with their significant other said it’s actually mutual.
