“A fifth of all home purchasers in 2023 were single women—compared to just 8% purchased by single men.

This trend highlights the growing financial independence and decision-making power of women, reshaping the housing market 🏡”

How long have women been able to buy a home on their own, unmarried and independent? Only 50 years. Before 1975, many women could be denied mortgages simply because they didn’t have a husband. Thankfully, The S*x Discrimination Act of 1975 made that illegal.

And women have been making up for lost time. In fact, a fifth of all home purchasers in 2023 were single women—compared to just 8% purchased by single men.

This trend highlights the growing financial independence and decision-making power of women, reshaping the housing market 🏡 and it’s even more remarkable when you realize women have only been part of it for just half a century.

Love the idea of hiding the toaster oven, but I thought part of the appeal of the open concept kitchen is being able to gather around the cooking with loved ones? Why would we hide the fact that we are, in fact, cooking? What are your thoughts on this trend?

Kitchens are the showpiece of a home, while the cooking is getting pushed behind closed doors.

Time for to get back in the game!
"Due to the already low mortgage rates compared to spring, the purchasing power for home buyers has been lifted by around $50,000 for those with a $2000 monthly mortgage payment budget. Consumers who were priced out due to earlier higher mortgage rates could now be back in the market."

Have you tried zucchini on the grill? It's incredible!
Getting a nice char on vegetables has completely transformed the way I enjoy veggies. And even our two year old gobbles up zucchini!

Vida's recipe for grilled zucchini:
Slice in long strips (pictured) but be sure they are thick enough not to fall in between grates
Sprinkle with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt - marinate anywhere from 5 min to a couple hours
Grill!
*Surprisingly great on pizza or beside a nice grilled steak

Give it a try and let me know what you think! There's still over a week left of SUMMER!
