STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Housing Needs Singles Market Comes Into Its Own The singles market, long overlooked by housing experts and builders, now is coming into its own and in some areas exceeds 25 percent of all home sales. That is the consensus of authorities contacted recently by the National Association of Realtors in a nationwide phone survey. Industry leaders and university professors in­ terviewed see this trend con­ tinuing and possibly growing for at least the next four or five years Among demographic factors pointed to as contributing to the growth of the singles market art: An increase in the number of persons in the prime home- buying age range, due to the post-World War II baby boom More people choosing to live alone, coupled with a higher divorce rate -. Marriages occurring late In life . Changes in family ties. Oceania Restaurant Opens In McHenry A new restaurant. Oceania, known for cantonese food, has opened at 1266 W. Green street George Mui is the owner. Grand opening was held Oct 29 More people age 65 and older are living alone. Authorities generally agree the impact of singles is being felt primarily in urban areas on the East and West coasts. But, it also is felt in the Sun Belt states. What are single buyers purchasing? Right now, the townhouse appears to be the most popular housing type for them. It has many of the ad­ vantages of the single-family home, but not as many of the responsibilities of home ownership. This opinion is borne out in part by the latest data collected by a Boston mortgage in­ surance firm on the housing preferences of single women buyers. The townhouse ranks first, according to IMIC, followed by the high-rise condominium, which ranked first three years ago. What does the future hold? R.L. Skrabanek, professor of sociology at Texas A&M university, predicts increased demand for apartments and mobile homes for 20-year-old singles, and townhouses and single-family homes for singles in their thirties. Ken Kerin, director of Economics and Research for the National Association of Realtors, foresees increased demand for one-bedroom and one-bedroom -plus condos and townhouses. One-bedroom-plus units feature a den or other living space which could be converted to a second bedroom PAMELA LEIBSOHN TOP SALES LADY-Although the year is not over, Pamela Leibsohn. sales associate of Century 21.
