Is it time to buy a home? According to a Gallup poll done on 1/17/2012, 67% of people polled say yes!
According to Gallup, "Overall, there is good reason for most Americans to think now is a good time to buy a house. Interest rates remain near historic lows. Home prices are down sharply, providing many incredible buys.”

According to the November 2001 National Housing Survey conducted by Fannie Mae, buyers cited their major reasons for buying a home. Here are the results:

80% Having a good place to raise children and provide a good education
79% Having a physical structure where you and your family feel safe
75% It allows you to have more space for your family
69% It gives you control over what you do with your living space

So despite what has been a negative sentiment towards the housing market, buyers and the general public still think that homeownership is the way to go.
