Buying a home as an individual woman is a significant achievement. The number of single women entering the real estate market is increasing, and this conversation aims to inspire and reassure you that your home-buying journey is shared by many.

In this interview, I get to talk with Amy Jo Plummer, Vice President of Acquisition Success at Maxwell, and explore insights from Maxwell's 2023 Single Women Home Buyer Report.

I specifically sought insights from Amy Jo because, in addition to her role at Maxwell, she is a contributor to the report and has personally gone through the process of purchasing two properties as a single mortgage applicant.

During our conversation, we delve into various aspects, including:

• The origin of the report and the significance of understanding the single-woman home buyer.
• How single women distinguish themselves from single male borrowers.
• Motivations driving women to buy homes.
• The duration and determination involved in women's saving efforts for a home.
• Average down payments made by women on a home.
• Creative approaches women employ to afford home ownership.

• The challenges related to confidence and resources that women face in the home buying process.
