American Dream Still Lives
Although foreclosures and underwater homes continue to plague the current housing market, 70% of Americans still view homeownership as being part of their American Dream.

American Dream Still Lives

Millennials Driving Economic Recovery
Although many of today’s young adults came of age during the housing crash, more than one in four (26%) say their views on owning a home have become more positive over the past six months.
With 88% of 18-34 year old renters aspiring to be homeowners, this new generation of buyers will likely play a crucial role in stabilizing today’s uncertain real estate market.

Stronger Long-term Recovery in South & West
Despite today’s low mortgage rates and high affordability, most would-be homeowners are in no rush to buy. By comparison, a brighter beacon of hope shines in the South and West where the outlook for long-term recovery is much stronger.

Through February, Trulia invites you to share your dream with us on Facebook and Twitter for a chance to win $50 to $250 gift cards to Crate and Barrel.

Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the United States between January 20th and 24th, 2010 among 2,079 adults (aged 18 and over) by Harris Interactive on behalf of Trulia via its Quick Query omnibus product, of whom 1,339 were homeowners and 683 were renters. Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.
All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words “margin of error” as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Interactive panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
