Women and Property 2024

Exclusive report on gender equity in the property market

Overview

As Australians engage in conversations around gender equality, CoreLogic adds a new dimension to the debate – the issue of gender equity in property ownership.

This year we used an updated survey methodology to deliver new and unique insights into home ownership rates among Australian women and men, as well as differences between genders in motivations, attitudes and barriers to getting on the property ladder.

Don’t miss the fourth annual edition of the report to understand equality in the property market – and the factors that could reinforce the gender wealth gap over time.
