According to Bankrate’s Homeowner Regrets Survey, more than 3 in 4 (78 percent) of U.S. adults said that owning a home was part of the American Dream. That’s far more than other life milestones, such as having children (45 percent) or getting a college degree (35 percent). In today’s housing market, however, it’s much harder to make that dream a reality. An imbalance of supply and demand has pushed home prices to record highs, while rates for 30-year mortgages continue to linger near the 7 percent mark.
