In 2020, 29 percent of women in the United States considered real estate to be the best long-term investment option, down from 33 percent two years earlier. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on financial markets worldwide, which likely accounts for the five percent drop in popularity of stocks and mutual funds among American women.
