China's single women become the main buyers, house is more reliable than boyfriend

Recently, a microblog about the sharp increase of women's house purchase has aroused heated discussion. After analyzing 67724 real estate transactions nationwide in 2018, a real estate search platform found that 47.9% of the buyers were women, a significant increase compared with 2014. Maybe for women, buying a house is more reliable than looking for a boyfriend.

Many women in the workplace believe that buying a house is not only an investment, but also a security lock for their own future and a guarantee for themselves.

According to the analysis of real estate transaction data on a housing website, 47.9% of the buyers are women, compared with about 30% in 2014. Among them, 74.2% of the female respondents said that they did not receive financial assistance from their partner when buying a house, 45.2% of them received financial assistance from their parents, and 29% of them bought a house on their own. 31.5% of the single older women who buy houses in the first tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, choose full payment, and the proportion is as high as 35.7% in the second tier cities. In terms of price range, in the total price range of 0-3 million yuan, the proportion of young women under 30 years old is higher than that of older women; in the total price range of 3 million yuan, the proportion of older women is higher.

With the continuous development of social economy, women in the new era are becoming more and more independent both in character and economy. Single women have become new buyers in the real estate market. More and more Chinese women choose to invest when they are single.

Society is composed of interactive individuals. The surge in the number of women buying houses on their own reflects the changes in some concepts, which are constantly influencing and changing the whole economic society, and also reflects more complex economic, cultural and social reasons.

The most direct impact is that many real estate developers are changing their selling strategies and paying more attention to women's needs. At present, many leading buyers in the real estate market have changed from men to women, and the proportion of women in decision-making is increasing. Because women pay more attention to the appearance of houses than to geographical location and price, many real estate enterprises may develop matching products for these groups in the future. Although the demand has changed, I don't think it will bring too much impact to the expectation of the whole property market. After all, in the current environment of stricter property market regulation policies, the possibility of housing price surge is not very big.

On the whole, in China, in the traditional concept of marriage, the house plays an extremely important role in marriage, and men are still and are taken for granted as the main group of house buyers. Why is the proportion of single female house buyers increasing year by year? In fact, there are profound social and economic reasons behind it. In the final analysis, it is mainly women's efforts to cope with the risk of marriage and improve themselves sense of security.

On the one hand, the current divorce rate in China is high, which gives women an unsafe pressure. Not long ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs released statistical data on the marital status of various provinces. In 2018, the number of registered marriages was 10.1 million, the number of divorces was 3.8 million, and the proportion of divorce and marriage reached 38%, which has been rising for eight consecutive years.

Therefore, who pays the down payment, who pays the monthly payment, and how to divide the property after divorce have become the problems that many women have to face and consider in their marriage. Women's dependence on home is much stronger than men's, and self purchase can enhance self-esteem and security.

On the other hand, with the development of economy and society and the rise of women's income, women's concept of marriage is changing. More and more women are aware of the importance of their own room. In fact, they are aware of the importance of independence. They are pursuing happiness and marriage based on independence.

Under the current marriage mode, women's marriage is highly dependent on men's economic level. After all, generally speaking, the income level of men is still higher than that of women, and women are often the one who is more worried about gain and loss in marriage.

However, this phenomenon was more serious in the past, and now it has been improved. The income gap between men and women in the workplace is narrowing. More and more women are able to buy houses without the confidence brought by the improvement of economic strength, especially in the first and second tier cities. In my opinion, this is a positive signal, because the economic foundation determines the superstructure. After women have their own houses, they will be able to pursue the existence of non-material in marriage and love more freely. The autonomy brought by the economic equality can make the two people's feelings go far and contribute to the stability of marriage.

Finally, the author believes that more single women buy houses, in fact, it also indicates that the whole society has taken a small step towards' equality between men and women '. Equality between men and women means that men and women enjoy the same rights and bear the same obligations in marriage and family relations.
