Buying a home is a better financial move for men than women, as the average market value of homes owned by single men is 10% higher than homes owned by single women, according to a new report from RealtyTrac.
What's more, male-owned homes appreciate at a faster clip. Homes owned by single men have increased in value by nearly $64,000 since they were bought, more than the average of $53,809 homes owned by single women gained.
Did anyone think there wasn't? If women, on average earn less, they purchase homes of less value and the incremental increases are based on that lower value.
Honestly, this is akin to that groundbreaking study someone did that proved people who earn more purchase more expensive homes. Shocker.

his one goal is to collapse the economy and buy a house on the cheap, but even then he will be out competed for those cheap houses and still be on CD saying how unfair life is
I have a pink feminine cardboard box to sell someone, but it's next to a "rugged" lot (it's a dirt pile)
Of the eight homes on my street, three of them are owned by single women. They have on average appreciated more than $125k in the last seven years, so the female homeowners in my neighborhood are doing quite well in real estate.

This is a poor conclusion unless you can prove a woman buying the same home as a man would suffer less value increase, which I seriously doubt.

Plus women are going to have massively higher costs (childcare) and way less money to put toward a mortgage than men.

Don't forget alimony and child support payments.
