Hi there,

Women are building empires, one property at a time
Women are building empires, one property at a time
This month we're celebrating the incredible impact women are making, especially in property. Lightstone reports that female buyers have surpassed male buyers since 2016. In fact, women now own 38% of property stock solely, compared to 29% of men. Above this, a recent poll by Medihelp Medical Scheme found ladies are taking the lead with household spending decisions. The ball is in the court of the property industry to recognise this driven demographic and ensure services and experiences are tailored to meet their needs.
MD of Prop Data
Let's get going,
