Homeownership Reaches Record Lows
According to new industry estimates, millions of houses on the verge of foreclosure could send homeownership to its lowest level since 1960.
Long considered a cornerstone of the American dream, homeownership has been sliding since the housing bubble burst in 2006. New projections say the rate could plummet to about 62%, compared with 69.4% in 2004. Homeownership rates haven’t been that low since 1960, when they hit 61.9%.
