Who ever would have thought that someone would recognize that women have a large influence in the purchase of a home.  My guess most of us women could have told builders that we make the decisions. But really, the wave of the future is to consider and market to women when building new homes.  Over the past few months, an associate who is a  builder has been talking to me about this new concept called "Women-Centric" Designs and Builders. I had to admit that I was not familiar with the concept itself but it made some sense.  Now,  it seems the Women-Centric concept is gaining in the market and being talked about in the Wall St. Journal and Smart Money Magazine.  The most recent article offered some statistics, insight into what women want and prespectives from a few women interviewed.

WOW!!! Just as it seem's you get a deal that will be approved thru financing (700+ scores, excellent Income) The bank turns it down. (The Problem with the Bank was soley and appraisal Issue.)
