Procrastination is a top reason people haven't created a will or trust since 2022, with men slightly more likely to delay estate management than women. Even fewer are taking action this year, with 43 percent of those without a will admitting they "just haven't gotten around to it.” In 2025, only 24 percent of survey participants reported having a will, and 4 percent mentioned other estate management documents, a decline from 33 percent with a will in 2022. Time to get it in gear!

National Homeownership Month isn't just about buying a house.

It's about what a home represents inside a larger financial life.

For current homeowners, that might mean thinking about how your home connects to your broader goals. For those still renting, it might mean revisiting the timeline and understanding what steps could move things forward.

Either way, housing is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make—and it deserves more than a passing thought once a year.

If you'd like to talk through how your home fits into your bigger financial picture, I'm always happy to have that conversation.

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.
