“Some feel it is Easier for a Man to get a Mortgage than a Woman”
I was recently interviewed for a Ken Harney article that he wrote. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
The
basic topic was single women compared to single men purchasing a home.
In my mortgage practice I track everything, so I let Ken know that 26%
of my business is single women purchasing homes compared to just under
20% for men.
As
a result of his article, I got this inquiry from a single gal that
wants to refinance the home she purchased earlier this year. Her email
indicated that she believed that she had to go through more hoops than
if she was a man buying a home.
I thanked her for the email and asked how she got my contact information:
Saturday
Real Estate section in the Washington Post. I am a single woman with a
great salary, a pension and a low debt/income ratio. I bought in March
and felt like I was having to provide info that men with my numbers
might not have to provide. Looking to lower my interest rate and pay
down principle- a bit. Thanks
I sure do hope she is not accurate, but promised her she would have a great refinance experience.
