—Unlike typical homeownership rate studies, we’ve isolated the key
economic and demographic factors that influence homeownership, while
holding the other factors equal, so we’re able to provide a clearer

Economist Mark Fleming—
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
First
American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), a leading
global provider of title insurance, settlement services and risk
solutions for real estate transactions, today published the findings
from a new study exploring the future of homeownership demand in the
U.S., titled “Six
Trends Poised to Reshape Homeownership Demand.” The study, developed
by First American Chief Economist Mark Fleming, provides an in-depth
look at the state of homeownership today and the trends that will
transform homeownership demand in the years ahead.
“Homeownership continues to be a critical driver of economic mobility,
delivering financial and social advantages to entire communities, so
understanding the forces that influence homeownership demand deserves
attention,” said Fleming. “We’ve examined the key factors that influence
the likelihood someone is a homeowner – educational attainment, income
level, economic conditions, marital status and more. But, unlike typical
homeownership rate studies, we’ve isolated each factor while holding the
other factors equal, so we’re able to provide a clearer picture of the
true impact that each of these economic and demographic factors have on
homeownership demand.”

Trends Poised to Reshape Homeownership Demand” can be downloaded for
Fleming’s insight on the trends listed below.
