Rising Tide of Female Opportunity

Sherry Lee Cox — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:23:01 +0000

Thank you to Ginny Mees, founder of Independent Women Homeowners, for allowing me to reprint this article…

Rising Tide of Female Opportunity

“Whether career definition for you is corporate, philanthropic, entrepreneurial, educational or working at home, the favorable global economic shift to woman holds promise and potential for you. Several recent reports and studies note the following:

Information from recent Newsweek Magazine, Hear Her Roar article:

In the last few months, economists, consultants, and other business types have begun to track the rise of a new emerging market, one that may end up being the largest and most powerful of all: women. According to a new study by the Boston Consulting Group, women are now poised to drive the post-recession world economy, thanks to an estimated $5 trillion in new female-earned income that will be coming on line over the next five years. Worldwide, total income for men ($23.4 trillion) is still more than double that for women ($10.5 trillion), but the gap is poised to shrink significantly because the vast majority of new income growth over the next few years will go to women, due to a narrowing wage gap and rising female employment. That means women will be the ones driving the shopping—and, economists hope, the recovery. That growth represents the biggest emerging market in the history of the planet—more than twice the size of the two hottest developing markets, India and China, combined.

Another November 2009 report from Sphere:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this fall, for the first time in U.S. history, women have surpassed men and now make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s workforce. In 1967, by comparison, they accounted for just one-third of all workers. Signs of the changing landscape in gender relations are just about everywhere you look:

• Double the number of single women are now purchasing homes in America than there are single men.

• Four out of every 10 women are are now their family’s primary breadwinner, a sharp increase from past decades.

• The New Hampshire State Legislature is now made up of a majority of women, a first for a legislative body in the U.S., and the number of women in government continues to edge up nationwide.

• Women now account for 30 percent of math Ph.D.s, up from just 5 percent in the 1960s.

• On average, women read nine books every year. Men only read four, and women account for 80 percent of the U.S. fiction market.

• The World Bank recently estimated that the global earning power of women will reach an estimated $18 trillion by the year 2014, up $5 trillion today.

“Women really have become the dominant gender,” said Guy Garcia, author of “The Decline of Men.” “What concerns me is that guys are rapidly falling behind. Women are becoming better educated than men, earning more than men, and, generally speaking, not needing men at all. Meanwhile, as a group, men are losing their way.”

Double the number of single women are now purchasing homes in America than there are single men.

• Four out of every 10 women are are now their family’s primary breadwinner, a sharp increase from past decades.

• The New Hampshire State Legislature is now made up of a majority of women, a first for a legislative body in the U.S., and the number of women in government continues to edge up nationwide.

The question is what do you do and how do you do it? Alligning yourself with this historic economic wave will carry you and your goals with it, so is a strategy worth pursuing.

Another opportunity to embrace and appreciate the work of our Women’s Liberation trailblazers like Gloria Steinem, who paved the way for our futures. Now we are seeing the fruits of their labors, and the economic power shift from men to women. As the financial power of women grows so will the opportunities for political and social change. We as women, are living in historic times.

In the next 10 years the number of Fortune 500 female CEOS may increase from 38-100: imagine: one fifth of the worlds powerhouse companies will be lead by women! The opportunities for us to allow our innate talents to shine. Enjoy the paradigm shift from past social economic norms to a new set of standards…no one knows exactly what the landscape will look like, but one thing is for certain it will be much more equitable to women. How are you positioning yourself for this positive change?”

Whether you are a widow, a single mom, a divorcee, single by choice, living with a female partner, or even married the Women Homeowners Website is a valuable resource for your real estate concerns. Many women today still face inequities in the home purchase process, and other business decisions. This site provides you a place to find answers to your questions, gain insight to buying real estate and access to a network of professional women who understand your concerns.

There are two search functions on this site:

When making real estate decisions, women have different needs and concerns, whether it is their security, style, financing, investment decisions or maintenance. Although single women are the fastest growing segment of homebuyers, the traditional real estate model has never before been addressed from a female point of view. But WomenHomeowners.com is changing that.

At WomenHomeowners.com you’ll find the answers to your questions, gain insight into the real estate market and have access to a network of professional women who share your interests, and often your point of view. While some of our female professionals are happily married, all of us were single at one time or another, and many of us have been divorced or widowed.

You’ll find stories of women like you — how they overcame obstacles to become homeowners and how they deal with the various challenges they encounter. And, depending on where you live, you may be able to become part of a local support group of women homeowners and professionals.

This website also offers articles on a variety of topics and resources that can help you improve your home, prepare your house for sale and improve your lifestyle, along with a marketplace to shop for products and services you might need as a homeowner or homebuyer.

Single Women Homebuyers

Single women account for the fastest growing segment of the home-buying population in the U.S. This trend has been on the rise for many years. From 1994 to 2002, the number of unmarried women owning homes climbed from 13.9 million to 17.5 million. By 2004, 18% of all homebuyers were single women. According to the latest NAR profile of homebuyers and sellers, that number has risen to 22%.

Factors leading to this increase include the following demographic trends: better education, more women working and seeking financial independence, and young women delaying marriage. Also, women have significantly increased their purchasing power. They own and operate 38% of all businesses in America and make up nearly 40% of all business school graduates. More immediately, historically low interest rates, affordable home prices, ample housing supply and the first-time homebuyer tax credit are fueling the increase of single women homebuyers.

Statistically, women do more research and spend a longer period of time searching for a home. They’re also more inclined to make home repairs. Studies show that nearly half of all purchases made in Home Depot and Lowes are made by women. And 94% of women homeowners claimed to have completed a home improvement project by themselves in the last five years.

Some home characteristics that experts say appeal to women: a safe community (single women account for a large number of condominium purchases where they find a sense of security), a home office (home-based businesses are very popular among women), maintenance friendly yards, lots of storage, and natural light, particularly in the master suite and bathroom. Statistically, women are also more likely to work with female mortgage brokers, attorneys and real estate professionals.

Winery Row, Paso – An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Sherry Lee Cox — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:23:40 +0000

Keller Williams Realty, Paso Robles Commercial Division, has the honor of being the listing agent for a new, innovative project in Paso Robles called Winery Row, Paso.

The concept is a destination where you can go from tasting room to tasting room without having to drive several miles in between. After you finish wine tasting, you can take your bottle of wine and lunch to a beautiful landscaped park to enjoy the outdoors.

The first phase of the project will be the building and leasing of 14 wineries. The phases planned for future development include the building of 30 crush facilities, a restaurant/microbrewery, an event center/park, a Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, possibly some high-end retail and an RV Park. Winery Row, Paso will become quite the destination in Paso Robles.

Right now, the listing agent is primarily working to lease up the wineries, but if someone has the desire to purchase a winery or one of the retail pads, he would love to talk to you.

If you would like to see a brochure on the project, contact me by email or phone, and I’d be happy to send that to you…

Pioneer Day Comes to Paso Robles

Sherry Lee Cox — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:15:58 +0000

The first Pioneer Day Parade in Paso Robles happened in 1931 at a time when bank failures were at an all-time high. Sound familiar? This event is held each year so Paso Roblans can celebrate their history and the pioneers who built our quaint city.

At 7:00 am in the park, the volunteers start cooking huge pots of beans. The parade starts at 10:00 am, and that is followed by the bean feed at noon. This event has always been free; even the bean feed. Most downtown businesses close until after the parade so employees can celebrate with their families and friends.

This year’s parade featured community floats, marching bands, wagons, horse & mule teams, antique tractors and equestrian groups.
