TWO CITIES IN NEW MEXICO RANK HIGH WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN BUYING HOMES. SMART-ASSET STUDIED 402 METRO AREAS IN THE COUNTRY, LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF MORTGAGES ISSUED TO WOMEN BUYERS OF PROPERTIES. SANTA FE PLACED FOURTH ON THE LIST, WHILE ALBUQUERQUE FINISHED 17TH.
THE STUDY LOOKED AT THE THE NUMBER OF MORTGAGES ISSUED FOR WOMEN AS A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ISSUED FOR MEN. SMART-ASSET SAYS WOMEN CAN FACE CHALLENGES WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABILITY, PRIMARILY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AVERAGE FEMALE WORKER MAKES ONLY ABOUT 81 PERCENT OF WHAT HER MALE CO-WORKERS ARE PAID.
