Well folks it looks like the American dream of owning a home is fading away faster than my pet Dino chasing the mailman! According to a New York Federal Reserve survey renters are feeling less hopeful about affording a place of their own.

With housing prices soaring higher than my bronto burger bill at the drive thru and mortgage rates dancing at 7.22% it's no wonder folks are feeling as lost as Barney without his bowling ball.

The survey shows that renters are struggling to see a future where they can secure a mortgage with nearly three quarters viewing it as a tough task. It's harder than convincing Mr. Slate to give me a raise at the quarry!

And if you thought renting was the solution think again! Rental costs are expected to skyrocket by nearly 10% in the coming year. Looks like even my pal Barney can't catch a break with that one!

Buckle Up for Bedrock!

Despite hopes for the Fed to lower interest rates folks in the survey predict that borrowing costs will just keep climbing higher. It's a real boulder on the road to home ownership!

In conclusion it seems like the housing dream is turning into a nightmare for renters. If only the Great Gazoo could wave his magic wand and make home ownership as easy as sliding down a dinosaur's tail!
