Here's a number worth sitting with: as of late 2025, the U.S. homeownership rate stands at 65.7%.

That's roughly two out of every three households.

And it's held steady—even through elevated mortgage rates and shifting market conditions.

What that tells us is that homeownership is still deeply woven into how Americans build their financial lives. It remains one of the most common ways families create memories and connect with the community.

If you're among those two-thirds, this month is a good moment to reflect on what that decision has meant for your household. If you're working toward it, know that millions of others have walked that same road.

Markets continued their upward climb in May, supported by strong technology performance, positive economic data, and ongoing diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The Nasdaq gained 8.36%, the S&P 500 rose 5.15%, and Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite added 2.37%, while investors welcomed better-than-expected job growth and upbeat corporate earnings. With the Fed's next meeting scheduled for June, attention is turning to updated economic projections and what they may signal about the broader economy. From \$24 billion spent on Father's Day to the popularity of dining out and special outings, this month's by-the-numbers highlights how families celebrate the dads in their lives.

June is National Homeownership Month—a time to recognize what homeownership means to millions of Americans.

It's more than a roof and four walls. For many families, it's where milestones happen. First steps, first dinners around your own table, the feeling of pulling into a driveway that's yours.

According to a 2025 Coldwell Banker survey, 85% of Americans still consider owning a home a key part of the American Dream.

That says something.

Whether you've owned for decades or you're still working toward it, this month is about honoring that aspiration and the meaning behind it. 🏡
