Unfortunately homeowners percentahes are on a slump. It's no longer as easy to own a home as it was half a decade ago.
Now, even if you owm a home and no longer live in it you can still profit from it aside from the usual price appreciation, which is not really a price appreciation but rather a hedge against inflation, by renting the house.
Yes they way younger people view owing a home is rapidly shifting. More and more younger people don't wont to commit on house or a city. that is good too.
