Homeownership has long been seen as an important part of achieving the “American Dream.” Put simply, most of us hope to be homeowners one day, if we aren’t already. In fact, according to one newly released survey, 67 percent of participants said owning a home is one of their biggest aspirations in life – with 73 percent of both Millennial and Gen Z respondents naming it among their top goals. That’s a significant majority and further proof that the dream of homeownership endures, even during challenging market conditions. These days, with prices high and mortgage rates elevated, homeownership could seem unattainable or less appealing than it has in the past. But though survey respondents expressed frustration with current market challenges, they clearly haven’t given up on owning a home and achieving their “American Dream.” (source)
