The American Dream of homeownership is still alive in our country, despite the cynicism of the mainstream media. Owning your own home is a goal that is hard to lose. It is the fabric of what our founding fathers fought for, and at one point they almost included in the Declaration of Independence the words ‘the Pursuit of Property’ which was later changed to read ‘pursuit of happiness.’ So the American Dream of homeownership runs deep.
One’s childhood home for example is a stable location that can be found in many citizens immediate recall when asked to go there in memory. Wherever you grew up in America, you lived somewhere, and most likely it was a home. Homeownership is still a worthy goal, despite the recent decline in real estate values across our nation since 2006.
In fact, there is no better time in history to seek out to buy a home, and become a homeowner. Values of property are so very low, and interest rates have cascaded downward as well. Certainly qualifying for a loan is more challenging these days, but these barriers can be overcome if one works with an experienced Realtor who is connected in with the local market.
So as a country our citizens have not abandoned the American Dream, but rather despite the struggling economy, and uncertain times, they still can achieve the goal of homeownership. As a Realtor, I help many people buy homes throughout the year, and have helped many, many people become homeowners even in the declining market.
