The number of single female homeowners in the U.S. hit a record 20 million last year, even as their overall homeownership rate dipped slightly from 52% to 51%, according to First American Financial Corp. The dip isn't a sign of weakening demand, says deputy chief economist Odeta Kushi. "The rate softened not because fewer women owned homes, but because more women formed independent households."
