Ever since the dawn of time people have found various ways to compare the overall differences between man and woman. This has never become even truer in today’s society of women entering the workforce especially, those industries that have once been predominately ruled by men. Real estate is just one of these industries. One of the main questions that have been questioned because of this is if women are any better at selling houses than a man. Well there are a variety of different advantages that they do bring to the table. First of all you need to take the time to look at the overall selling aspect. On this aspect both men and women do show similar strengths and weaknesses. However men tend to take a more critical look than a woman may do. Also men tend to consider the homes that they purchase as an overall investment and women do not. The men also tend to sell their properties more on the aspect as investments. Women however, tend to pay more attention to the detail aspect of the selling. They seem to have a natural skill to look at a variety of different properties and then be able to envision the various ways that they will be able to make that property even better. They also have a more critical eye of the interior of the property then a man would. This is one of the main reasons why women have begun to gain a lot of recognition in the real estate field. Another great advantage that women have when it comes to real estate is that they tend to have a better understanding of how to present a home show. They know just how to place items around the home to appeal to the person looking at the home. They also will be able to connect with the women buyers easier than the men. Most generally it is these women that make the overall decision on purchasing the home for the family. Women also have a great ability to multi task. Any given day you can see women balancing home, career, and family with no more than a bat of an eye so it is no wonder why they are great at this game. Also women tend to be straighter forward especially to the women buyers. Also their great charm has been known to charge many men into buying homes. As you can see there are quite a few advantages to women that are considering entering the world of real estate. With all that a woman has the ability to do, you should consider becoming a real estate agent.

Three of the months (January, April and May 2006) had mixed data, during which the median and average prices were up some of these months and down others. Given the ups and downs described above, a longer period of evaluation is needed to determine if a clear trend is evident for the Mission Valley real estate market.
