Six Trends Poised to Reshape Homeownership Demand: New Study from First American Chief Economist

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.”

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

• Trend #1: The Most Educated Generation in the U.S.
• Trend #2: Homes and Marriage Go Together
• Trend #3: The Home is a Family Formation Station
• Trend #4: Finally, Income Growth
• Trend #5: Is It All About the Economy?
• Trend #6: Closing the Gaps
