evidence: Across all 17 markets featured in our study, just over half (53%) own their own house. Home ownership is highest in Singapore (65%) and Sweden (63%), and lowest in Germany (34%) and the UAE (32%), but in most of these countries, regions or areas, it’s more common to own your home than not. When it comes to people who don’t own their own home, most want to: three-quarters (76%) say they want to have their own property in future, while 15% do not. The dream of home ownership is especially potent in Indonesia (95%) and Mexico (94%); in both markets, just 2% do not aspire to have their own house someday. In other markets, it’s a more mixed story. People who don’t have property generally aspire to it – but the degree varies heavily, especially within Europe. While 84% of Spaniards want to own their own home, this falls to just two-thirds of Danes (66%), three in five French people (62%), and less than half of Germans (48%).
