Independent ladies are taking over the market for new condos and condo conversions in major cities. In fact, a recent study revealed that single females account for approximately 47 percent of the condo market. The market for San Francisco condos is no different, as it has always been a haven for unconventional home buyers.

There are many reasons why single women choose San Francisco condos over other types of properties. A condo is often a more low-cost home ownership option, for starters, but many female professionals also prefer the luxurious, upscale new condos over detached homes. This is because San Francisco condos are more convenient, secure and stress-free places to live. 

New condos in the city offer the utmost convenience, with all the maintenance of the building and common areas paid for by monthly condo association fees. Another trend in new condos is having amenities like grocery stores and dry cleaners right in the building. There are employees of the condo building to pick up packages when residents aren't home, as well. San Francisco condos also offer security features such as doormen at all hours of the day, and secured parking.

A detached home requires ongoing maintenance, too, unlike a condo. While single ladies are financially responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of their San Francisco condos, the condo associations oversee the daily management of the property. It's no surprise so many single women are taking their financial futures into their own hands and buying San Francisco condos.
