According to the 2010 National Housing Pulse Survey, an annual report released by the National Association of Realtors, nearly eight out of 10 respondents believe buying a home is a good financial decision, despite ongoing challenges with the economy and housing market. The survey found job security concerns to be the highest in eight years of sampling, with 70% of Americans saying that job layoffs and unemployment are a big problem in their area; eight in 10 cite these issues as a barrier to homeownership.
Home ownership is at the core of the American Dream, and the majority of Americans believe it is one of the best long-term investments in a family's future.
