The desire to own a home hasn’t been diminished by the downturn in the industry, according to a survey by Fannie Mae. Of owners and renters surveyed, 51% say that the housing crisis has not affected their overall willingness to buy a home. About 27% say they are more likely to buy since the crisis, presumably because of lowered prices, and 19% say they are more likely to rent.
However, about 33% say they would be more likely to rent their next home than buy, up from 30% in January. Among renters, 59% said they would continue to rent in their next move, compared to 54% in January 2010.
66% say they believe that housing is a safe investment, as safe as an IRA or a 401(k) plan.
About 50% say they believe that owning is a good idea, even if they plan to stay in the home less than three years.
86% identify tax benefits as a reason to buy.
