With so many talking heads seeming to declare the end of the home ownership as something desirable, one wonders if we are to become a nation of renters, with the pleasure of owning one's own home left only to a privileged few. Not if you ask the average American on the street! A recent study by the Pew Research Center indicates that Americans continue to see value in home ownership. In the Pew report 81% of adults surveyed agree that buying a home is the best long-term investment. Even current owners whose homes have lost value in the current  stormy market still favor homeownership by 82%, and 81% of renters would like to own a home.
