28. Will Owning Make Sense in 30 Years?
Robert Schiller
NY Times 4/2013
“It’s quite possible that the next decade might bear a
resemblance to the 1960s or ’70s...
Homeowners did very well if they bought in 1960 or 1970,
locked in low fixed-rate mortgages and saw the nominal
values of their homes soar while their real mortgage
balances declined.
This could be an auspicious time to buy a house…
for people who aren’t out to bet on the housing
or mortgage markets but are instead focused
on settling into a home for the long term.”

37. “Americans are as bullish on the housing market as
they have been at any time since before the
housing bubble burst several years ago. This
surely reflects the stabilization of the housing
market, and the fact that home prices are generally
heading up in most parts of the country.”
Housing is Back!!
Gallup
38. “Gallup data on homeownership provide strong
support for the idea that the American Dream of
owning a home continues to be alive and well.
The majority of Americans
who own a home plan on
continuing to do so in
the future, and most
of those who don't
own a home plan
on buying one.”
