Everyone’s interpretation of the American Dream is unique and personal. But, for many people, it’s tied to a sense of success, freedom, and prosperity. These are all things that owning a home can help provide. A recent survey from Bankrate asked respondents which achievements they feel most embody the American Dream. The responses prove owning a home is still important to so many Americans today (see graph below):
Americans still view homeownership as the American Dream. Everyone’s interpretation of the American Dream is unique and personal. But, for many people,
As the graph shows, homeownership ranks above other significant milestones, including retirement,
having a successful career, and earning a college degree.
A recent report from MYND helps shed light on why so many people value homeownership. It finds: “. . . nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) see homeownership as a means of building intergenerational wealth.”
That’s because, when you own a home, your equity (and net worth) grows over time as you pay down your home loan and as home prices appreciate.
This can be a key factor in building intergenerational wealth and long-term financial stability.
To further drive home the difference homeownership can make in your life, a report
from Fannie Mae says:
“Most consumers (87%) believe owning a home is important to ‘live the good life.’ . . . Notably, significantly more see ‘having less stress’ as a benefit achieved by owning than renting.”
Especially today, this could be because, when you own a home with a fixed-rate mortgage, you stabilize what’s likely your largest monthly expense (your housing cost), and that helps combat the impact of rising costs from inflation.
What Does This Mean for You? American Dream
While it may feel challenging to buy a home today with higher mortgage rates and home prices, if
the time is right for you, know that when you buy a home, incredible benefits are waiting for you at the end of your journey.
