Real Estate Market Dominated by Women Including in Wisconsin

Saturday, May 21st, 2022 -- 12:00 PM

The residential real estate sales profession is dominated by women.

According to the National Association of Realtors, women have been involved in the U.S. real estate industry since its earliest days. Starting in the late 1800s, women began to move out of administrative roles and into agent and broker roles, although at a slow rate.

Now nearly a century and a half later, women account for 56% of all real estate agents according to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau. While women make up the majority of real estate agents, they are much more likely to work part time than men.

Among female real estate agents, 43% work part time. Male part-time real estate agents account for a much lower share, at just 27%. Real estate agents are paid on a commission basis (not salaried) and have flexible schedules, making the real estate sales profession much more accommodating to part-time schedules than many other jobs.

To find the states with the most female real estate agents, researchers at Construction Coverage analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Zillow.

The researchers ranked states according to the percentage of real estate agents that are women. Researchers calculated the median annual earnings for real estate agents, the concentration of real estate agents compared to the national share, and median home price.

The analysis found that in Wisconsin, 56.9% of all real estate agents are women, compared to 55.8% at the national level.

Here is a summary of the data for Wisconsin:

  • Median earnings for real estate agents: $47,220;
  • Concentration of real estate agents (compared to average): -17%;
  • Median home price: $250,257.

For reference, here are the statistics for the entire United States:

  • Median earnings for real estate agents: $48,340;
  • And Median home price: $331,533.
