Who's buying houses
According to statistics by the National Association of Realtors, 61 percent of all homes are purchased by married couples. So who's buying the rest? The stats show that surprisingly, 22 percent of the homes are being bought by single women. Single men accounted for only 9 percent of home pruchases. Why the high percentage among single women? The New York Times did an analysis of census data that showed that 51 percent of all adult women in America now live without a spouse. That's pretty amazing.
