Optimism for the Future of Real Estate


     Changes to the market have gotten people talking about real estate. Some say that prices are dropping because of less investors buying residential property. Others say that just means it's a great time to buy, and with more than 10,000 houses sold every day in the US, it's easy to see why.



     In a recent survey, it was shown that more than 60% of Americans felt that NOW is a good time to buy. Who else is optimistic about the real estate market? Well, a majority of current renters have owning a home as a determined goal and they feel it is realistic.



     A survey recently showed that of a large random sample of millennials, 74% see themselves moving in the next 5 years and the same number feel that owning a home is an important part of the American dream. A very important statistic is the 73% that felt owning a home was an excellent investment. This is not just unbridled optimism or ignorance. In fact, homes have accounted for nearly a quarter of all wealth in America since 1958.
