My reasoning behind wanting to own my own home is that i am tired of renting and having to do exit cleans and paranoid about any damage that may occur. Its also a sense of security for me, to know that i own this piece of earth and this is my base. Although i don't own a home yet but would love to. Another reason is that i could pass on the property as an asset to future generations. But i suppose everyone wants different things in life :)
