A lot of the home "ownership" is based on zero-down adjustable-rate can-skip-some-payments-here-and-there mortgages. There are interest-only mortgages i.e. you never pay towards owning the house, but hey, house prices always rise, right?! Heck, in some cases you can even get 103% to 105% financing. Talk about homes built on shifting sands!
