Are we about to become a nation of renters?
The percentage of
U.S. households that owns a home has dropped significantly in recent years, and experts say this downward trend might well continue for at least several more. Still, housing is notoriously cyclical, and experts say the
United States isn't likely to become a nation of renters.
According to the
U.S. Census Bureau, the seasonally adjusted national homeownership rate stood at 65.3 percent in the fourth quarter of
2012. That was a big dip compared with the peak of 69.4 percent in 2004 but comparable to the 65.4 percent rate way back at the beginning of
1996.
The decline has been larger than typical, but so was the rise that preceded it, explains
Patrick Simmons, director of strategic planning for
Fannie Mae's Economic & Strategic
Research Group.
"In addition to the severity of the recession, which definitely contributed to the larger-than-typical decline, there was also a somewhat artificial runup in the homeownership rate in the five or 10 years leading up to the recession," Simmons says.
The ownership generation gap
What's more, the drop hasn't been felt evenly across the generations.
Instead, Simmons explains, "Elderly homeownership rates held their own, but there was an outsized decline amongst folks who were younger, particularly in the 25-to-34 and 35-to-44 age groups."

Bad timing was one reason for the harsh effect on younger people. While many seniors are long-term homeowners who have substantial equity, younger people more likely bought at the peak of the housing boom, when prices were inflated and ownership was less sustainable.
'Renters in waiting'
These homeownership rates might be overstated because they don't take into account the millions of people who are at least 90-days late on their mortgage payments.
