Did you know that the fastest growing percentages of homebuyers are single women?

The National Association of Realtors recently profiled all homebuyers and sellers throughout the U.S. In 1995, 70% of homebuyers were married couples compared to 14% single women and 9% single men. In 2006 the percentage for married couples fell to 61%.  The percentage of single women homebuyers increased from 14 to 22%, and single men remained the same at 9%.

Some other interesting statistics to consider:

PNC Financial Services Group conduced a survey with over 1800 Americans with assets over $500,000.   They found that high net worth investors have not made major shifts in their investment portfolios over the past year. *

What does this mean to us? Despite all of the negative news in the media, high net worth investors are staying the course with their investment portfolios.
