Emerging Trends: Women Entrepreneurs and Single Women

Emerging Trends: Women Entrepreneurs and Single Women

RECBL - Real Estate News

With new trends developing at a rapid pace, driven by housings changing landscape and the prevalence of technology, it’s essential to know what lies on the horizon. Two of the most important and fastest-growing markets today are women entrepreneurs and single women.

Women Entrepreneurs
According to Ernst & Young (EY), women are starting businesses at 1.5 times the rate of men in the U.S. While the number of women entrepreneurs is growing at a rapid pace, the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) reports that 89.5 percent of women-owned businesses employ no one other than the owner and data from the SBA Office of Advocacy shows that 60.1 percent of all firms without paid employees are home-based.

These growing women entrepreneurs want a place to call their own for their personal and professional lives, a sanctuary for themselves and their families, as well as a stable location from which to grow their business. Homeownership for these women entrepreneurs is precious; they’re capable risk-takers making an impact in the home-buying market just like in the business world.

Single Women
Single women homebuyers are on the rise. As the National Association of REALTORS(R) (NAR) reports, single women comprise 17 percent of homebuyers in the U.S., compared with 7 percent of single men. Moreover, according to the Census Bureau, of the 116 million currently occupied housing units, single women comprise 13 percent; in contrast, single men make up only 4.8 percent.

With a (slowly) decreasing wage gap and increased presence in high-paying jobs-between 1970 and 2010, women civil engineers increased by 977 percent, pharmacists by 434 percent, physicians and surgeons by 334 percent and lawyers and judges by 681 percent-women’s buying power is growing substantially. Furthermore, the Department of Labor (DOL) reports that the unemployment rate for women is 4.8 percent, a significant decrease from 9 percent in November 2010. In addition, Census Bureau data shows that on average, women are entering marriage at age 27, compared to age 21.5 in 1940.

This independence coupled with increasing wages and labor-force participation is helping women transform their homeownership dreams into reality. A home is a woman’s sanctuary, a place to call her own, an invaluable asset that cements ones professional progress and economic foundation. The desire to own a home is an enormous driving force in women; they’re doing what it takes and sacrificing in order to become homeowners.

Where are single women buying? A recent survey from Owners.com found that the top 10 most popular metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) for single women to buy homes share affordability. Specifically, these markets are 70 percent more affordable than the next 10 markets.

There may be a buzzing market of women homebuyers in your city, so make sure you’re prepared to serve women clients. Leveraging your female agents, or your presence as a women-owned brokerage, can maximize your appeal to women buyers looking to work on their home search with women. The business is here and growing. Are you ready?

Advice From a Master

Advice From a Master - By J'aime Nowak, Buffini & Company  

Way back in 1996, I was finding my way in the world. Newly licensed in real estate, I was terrified and excited. I was also broke, in debt and thrilled to receive my first pager. It feels like yesterday, only today I’m very different. My lessons and experiences, my research and circumstances, my failures more than my successes, have gotten me closer to the person I’m capable of being, and I’m not close to done. Here are a few key lessons I’ve found as truth along way...

The good life takes hard work, grit and hustle.
Passively waiting for leads to call is not the way to build a fundamentally sound and lasting business. The great thing about this principle is that we each have control over our daily activities and attitude, and these choices directly impact the prosperity of our business. There is power and promise in that. When I’m anxious or frustrated that I’m not achieving my goals fast enough, I’ve learned that positive action in any area creates momentum, feelings of empowerment and eventually, results! The bottom line? Real estate rewards action.

Lasting success is built on good habits practiced consistently over time.
Many years ago, as I was preparing to cross North America teaching folks how to build their business by referral (a system Id implemented with great success as a broker myself), Brian Buffini gave me some excellent advice. He told me to be "violent in my routines." "Violent?" I said. "That’s a bit extreme, isn’t it?" "Not at all," he said. "It’s the difference between success and failure in all that we do. If you major in the minors of life and business, you won’t go very far."

We all know this, but many times, we behave very differently. We get caught up in stuff that doesn’t really matter. I paid attention to what my mentor shared with me. I answered the question: What are the things that really matter? I made the list. My health and wellbeing, my family and relationships, and doing good work that helps people were at the top of my list. What time and activities did I need to devote to this list? If we are intentional on where we focus our time and energy, then our priorities won’t become casualties.

While in pursuit of the good life, expect adversity.
No matter the challenge or circumstance, don’t give up. I’ve found that some of my greatest blessings have come from my biggest adversities. You never know how close you are to that next blessing, that next victory. Keep moving one step forward even if you’re thrown two steps back; there is always hope. You are stronger than you think.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.
I start every day with "Thank You." Even on my roughest days, I find my list of blessings is too long to get through. It’s easy to fall into "Facebook envy." We look at peoples carefully curated posts, thinking they have everything in order, and compare ourselves. Realize that what you see isn’t the whole story! It’s the one made for the public.

Relationships are the pulse of life and business.
These crucial connections are the lifeblood of our business, the strength of our families and the fabric of our lives. We must invest time and energy in them so they blossom and grow. One of the best ways to serve your clients is to get to know them better. To help, we’ve created a free resource for you, The Client Connection List.

As I look back at over 20 years in the real estate business-first as an agent, then as a broker and now as trainer-these lessons have been rich and painful, sobering and beautiful. I hope you took a few nuggets from what I’ve shared and I invite you to take stock of what you’ve learned over the last five, 10 or 20 years. I promise, it’ll be staggering.

And now, let us look forward to the next decade with hope and ambition, dedication to the right things and people, and a powerful vision of all we want to do and become. Forge ahead with the conviction that no matter the mistakes, success and lessons lie ahead.
