Almost 72,000 single women bought residential properties in South Africa last year, according to the research group Lightstone.
This makes them the largest single group of property buyers in South Africa - bigger than married couples or single men.
However, single women are still buying cheaper homes compared to the other groups.
Women now also represent 48% of new car sales, Lightstone reports.
