The new Housing Opportunities and Market Experience (HOME) report was created by NAR to monitor consumer sentiment about the housing market. Some highlights this quarter: 88% of U.S. households believe owning a home is a good financial decision; 83% of current renters do want to own a home in the future; 31% of renters think it would be very difficult and 34 percent think it would be at least somewhat difficult to obtain mortgage.
