Single Guys Don’t Buy?
By Anthony Longo 25 03 2007
If your in or around Boston today, pick up the Globe and pull out the Boston Globe Magazine insert today. 3 Great articles: One on Boston Market, One on Discount Brokerage and new services coming out and One that throws around big stats stating Single Guys Renting instead of buying! (news to me…)
According to their statistics single males has the lowest homeownership percentage in Massachusetts. Married Couples (60%), Un-Married Couples (8%), Single Woman (24%) and Single Men (6%). Seems crazy but MAR is putting that out…so wow! Who knew!
When they did some interviewing, most of these “guys” stated that they were not buying until they were going to get married and that they liked being mobile and having the ability to pick up and move if they want or with a new job, etc. I guess it makes sense if you are not committed to downtown Boston…but even running some comps for myself recently, its still cheaper to own than to rent!
Well, some of us do buy…Clooney is still single right? And he has more than one piece of real estate, my fav being the Italian Villa on Lake Como in Northern Italy.
(PS - still waiiting for my offer to be accepted…I should hear back today)
