If you're looking to buy a home, you may want to ask Gen Z women for some tips. 
Data from the National Association of Realtors shows that 35% of single women ages 18 to 26 are buying homes compared to just 18% of single Gen Z men. 
The survey also found that no other generation had a bigger share of single women home buyers than Gen Z. 
However, as a whole, the age group is struggling to keep up with others when it comes to owning a home. 
Analysis from a St. Louis-based company, Clever Real Estate, shows about 5% of Gen Z'ers own homes in 2024. 
That's compared to 44% of Millennials and 73% of baby boomers. 
Jessica Lautz joins us now. 
She is the deputy chief economist at the National Association of Realtors. 
Thanks for being here with us. 
Why are we seeing such a large share of Gen Z women owning homes? 
I think Gen Z women are willing to make the sacrifice to come into home ownership, and they have learned from generations before them, and they want the independence of home ownership. 
They want the wealth building that home ownership brings, and they're getting there. 
Jessica, what challenges do Gen Z'ers as a whole face when it comes to purchasing a home in the future? 
Well, Gen Z'ers and certainly younger Millennials, all first-time buyers, frankly, are facing affordability concerns. 
There's a limited housing inventory, especially if there's incomes below $75,000. 
That's where supply is very tight for potential buyers. 
All right, Jessica Lautz, thank you. Appreciate it. 
Thank you.
