35% of Gen Z homebuyers are single women, research shows.
Women in their 20s are buying homes in growing numbers, according to a new study. More than a third, 35 percent, of Gen Z homebuyers are single women, according to the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report, which is based on transactions made between July 2024 and June 2025. The Gen Z buyers were ages 18 to 26.
That share is up from 30 percent the prior year and is the highest of any age group, the study shows. It is also nearly twice the 18 percent of Gen Z buyers who are single men. Single women have long made up a larger share of homeowners than single men, although the gap is narrowing, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2022, women owned 58 percent of the nearly 35.2 million homes owned by unmarried Americans, compared with 42 percent for men. That compares with 64 percent and 36 percent, respectively, in 2000.
