What Women Look For When Buying A House...

Women make up 21% of all recent home purchases, according to a recent study by the National Association of Realtors. Beyond this statistic women are estimated to be responsible for making the final decision about home purchases 87 percent of the time. It is because of these statistics that we have noticed that home builders are designing home layouts with the woman buyer in mind.

Home builders have been asking women what kinds of layouts and amenities they prefer. In response to its surveys of women buyers, they have created separate workspaces for men and women. They have also added open loft areas on the second floor and located laundry rooms and craft rooms near the kitchen. These floor plans were created specifically for mom or females who are working from home.

Also since mothers are such big voices in the renewed popularity of urban living there has been a concentration on in-fill developments. They also are building homes with porches that encourage neighborliness, and they are paying attention to the proximity of parks.
