The term "American Dream" is often thought of in connotation with homeownership. People dream of a place to call their own, a picket fence, a garage and a backyard. Every two years, the real estate website, Trulia, surveys Americans on their views on homeownership. This year their released data shows that, despite the recession and despite foreclosure increases, most adults consider their personal American dream to own a home. Of those surveyed, eighty percent desire to purchase at least one more home in their lifetime. They are not actively looking but it is on their mind. Sarah Stelmock, a broker in Fredericksburg.
