Buying a house, for many Americans, is seen as an achievement and evidence that they've reached a certain level of success.
There is no other symbol as closely association with the American Dream than owning a home.
Home ownership has remained our national shared aspiration.
Because of this, there is a strong emotional pull toward buying a house that most Americans feel even today.
A recent survey found that 2/3rds of American believe owning a home is an essential part of achieving the American Dream.
Over the years, and despite the ups-and-downs of the housing market, homeownership has consistently ranked high among Americans' goals, whether it's something they hope to achieve right now or a couple of years down the road.
