Do Americans still want homeownership?

The American dream of homeownership is alive and well. More than half of Americans surveyed in a recent poll said that if their financial situation were to improve,  they would buy a home.

Coming in second on the list of wishes, 23% said they’d make repairs or improvements to the home they already have, according to the poll of more than 1,400 Americans conducted by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling Web site, http://www.debtadvice.org/.

Meanwhile, 17% of Americans polled said they’d like to upgrade their car and 9% said they’d take a vacation.

Not too surprising to me. I don't think I know anyone that wouldn't want home ownership. :)
