Buying a home is a really big decision and is one of the biggest decisions taken by people in their lifetimes. More and more financially empowered and sound women are purchasing homes these days while several women are also looking at real estate as an investment option. This has given rise to a debate as to what do women buyers desire while purchasing a home. Do they prefer higher convenience or a better neighborhood? Do they require a bigger living room or a more spacious bedroom?

There are several questions that have remained unanswered until now. As per some very interesting information from several real estate developers, the final decision on home buying is taken by women for a whopping 80% of purchases. Women are forming opinions about the real estate market with access to more information on new projects and developers. Women are steadily gaining more confidence with regard to making this big home owning decision. Women buyers are seen to provide higher importance in case of the functional attributes of homes along with utilities like cabinet spaces and storage areas rather than going all out for aesthetics. Women prefer a house, which is located closer to the city centre and has good connectivity through public transport and is preferably near necessary social infrastructure and amenities. Women also prefer neighborhoods that are safer than the rest.

Women also give emphasis to factors like nearby schools, availability of facilities like daycare or crèche options, transit infrastructure and the overall community in general. Women like homes that maximize homes and dislike any clutter. They look for ample space for utilities like appliances along with cubbies, drawers, cupboards and cabinets. A dedicated laundry area with electricity and water connections is also a major plus point for a woman.

Women prefer spacious and open kitchens with ample dining and storage spaces as this will be helpful for entertaining guests and also for the entire family to dine together. Women also look for greater value from their investments. It is more important to figure out how much the house will be worth around 15-20 years later.
