Home Ownership

                 Home Ownership

. Owner-occupancy or home-ownership is a form of housing tenure in which a person, called the owner-occupier, owner-occupant, or home owner, owns the home in which they live.[1] The home can be a house, such as a single-family house, an apartment, condominium, or a housing cooperative. In addition to providing housing, owner-occupancy also functions as a real estate investment

.  The home ownership rate is the ratio of owner-occupied units to total residential units in a specified area.[7][better source needed]
