Why Women Dominate Virginia Beach Real Estate Buying Decisions -Top 10 Items

filed under: Main category posted on July 8th, 2009

I am blessed to have so many nice clients whom are very thorough when it comes to choosing the right Virginia Beach real estate for purchase.

However, the statistics show and I agree that women dominate the scene when it comes to decisions on what they want in the home and purchasing Virginia Beach real estate.

They simply are more real estate engaged. No wonder some facts show that women make 90% of decisions when buying real estate.

Why?

Women are much more focused, they research on dennisblackmore.com, consider their “wants and needs”, where men seem to be less demanding, more accommodating (may not have a choice), and quite frankly sometimes just want the Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads real estate search to be done.

Men like to crunch numbers for financing, avoid buyer mistakes, and sort out how much work they are committing to.

Check out the Top 10 Women desired items with their Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Hampton Roads real estate purchase:

1. Tile, ceramic, slate in kitchens, foyers, laundry area, and less carpet.

2. Stainless steel or other upgraded appliances (sub zero would be nice). Solid surface countertops,
whether granite, quartz, marble, tile, or even cement.

3. Fixtures which include both lighting and plumbing that are different from the norm.

4. Tiled shower and bath areas, possibly walk in showers with mulitiple heads.

5. Single pedestal sinks vice the common “stock” sink and cabinet. Unique mirrors vice standard stock.

6. Functional laundry area with folding area and deep sink. Upstairs if possible.

7. Four or more bedrooms and garage.

8. Natural light throughout home and less boxy. More openness.

9. Low maintenance and cleaning both inside and outside.

10. Security (low crime), normal neighbors, good schools, and of course good shopping nearby.

Sellers can gain from this article as it will help them ‘cater” to the “real audience” of Virginia Beach – women real estate buyers. If selling, get your home upgraded before the women arrive.
