In 2015, 80 percent of millennials said buying a home was part of the American dream, but the same survey taken at the end of 2016 showed that number dropped to 72 percent.

"Given millennials make up the largest pool of potential home-buyers in the U.S., this should be at least somewhat disconcerting," Trulia Chief Economist Ralph McLaughlin said.  "If the for-sale housing market is to continue building steam in the years ahead, this demographic will need to transition into homeownership in order to support the resale of homes by their older counterparts."

"Though home buying among millennials is likely to be volatile in the short-run, the long-run potential for this generation to support housing consumption in the U.S. is large," McLaughlin said.

However, there is still hope for the future of homeownership.  McLaughlin points out that the report shows growth in household formation.  Household formation increased 0.5 percent to 805,000 new households, however, the increase was due to the formation of renter households.
