1 out of 4 renters never plans to own a home


SAN FRANCISCO – Aug. 19, 2010 – According to Trulia.com’s American Dream survey on attitudes toward homeownership, 27 percent of renters do not plan to buy a home – ever. Of those renters who do plan to purchase someday, 68 percent said it would be more than two years before they do.
“Large numbers of people delaying their plans to buy a home, or not planning to buy at all, could have an enormous domino delaying effect on economic recovery in the U.S.,” says Pete Flint, CEO of Trulia. “Renters converting into buyers are crucial to turning around the housing slump, but the current economic crisis is causing people to become very hesitant to get off the fence and buy a home.”
