Homeownership has become as much of a lifestyle choice than an obligatory milestone, says Selma Hepp, chief economist with Trulia; 75% of married people with kids under the age of 18 say they plan to buy a home to be their primary residence versus 69% of single people with no kids. Yet only 35% of Americans said they’ve already purchased their “dream home".
Only 14% of respondents who plan to buy any home say they will do so within the next year, the survey found, while 69% plan to wait at least two years. And most people gravitate toward modern homes (18%) with newer features that require less work than older homes, followed by ranch-style homes (15% [and safer for us older folks]). People chose a dozen types of homes from log cabins (6%) to Colonial style houses (5%). Only 3% chose penthouse apartments as their ideal type of home and 1% picked houseboats.
