The American Dream & Homeownership: A Blog by Krista Klause, Realtor

Everyone has their version of the American Dream 🌟. A recent Bankrate survey reveals that for many, owning a home 🏠 still tops the list as the ultimate American Dream (see graph below).

 

Interestingly, the graph indicates that for most people, owning a home outranks retiring, having a successful career, or earning a college degree 🎓📈. But what about younger generations like Gen Z and millennials? Are they still keen on homeownership?

A survey by 1000watt focused on these 'renter generations' 🏢🚫, asking if they aspire to buy homes. The answer? A resounding yes (see graph below).
