Poll: Do you plan to buy your own home?

What are your plans?

NEW FIGURES RELEASED this morning showed that it costs an average of €5,600 extra to live close to a secondary school.

Other figures have also shown that nearly one in three people either plans to buy their first home or will move home in the next two years.

But with the housing crisis worsening and homelessness at record highs, are such plans realistic?

Today’s poll: Do you plan to buy your own home?

Poll Results:

I already own my home (5376)

Yes, I definitely plan to (4213)

I would like to but I don't think it's realistic (3551)
