In the early days of America, real estate ownership followed the laws of England.  Ownership of property was largely in the hands of a woman's father or husband.  In fact, women were often viewed as "property" themselves, to be owned by a man.

By about 1900, most states had given women limited property rights of their own.

"We've come a long way, baby", since then.  Many women own their own homes, investment property and successful, profitable businesses. 

The dream of home ownership is strong for couples and families, but women are typically the ones who initiate the process.  A home means security, a safe place to go at the end of the day, a way to express a homeowner's personality in terms of decoration and furnishings, and a place to offer hospitality to bring friends and family together. 

Single women have these same motivations for owning a home, as well as the financial benefits of home ownership.  They also have the financial means to purchase and maintain a home on their own.  Yet some are still hesitant to take on such a big financial obligation on their own.
