American Dream Report

Trulia.com and Harris Interactive recently released a report titled "The American Dream," that discussed consumer sentiment regarding homeownership.  Some highlights from the report:

• 19% of those surveyed have a more negative view of homeownership than they did 6 months ago, compared with 23% who have a more positive view


• In 1950, the average home was 983 square feet; in 2004, this increased to 2,349 square feet.  In the future, most builders say they plan on building smaller, less expensive homes.


• 72% of those surveyed stated that owning a home was part of their American dream
