Hong Kong has become the second most expensive city to own a home and homeownership is regarded as difficult and severely unaffordable. With previous studies in the West indicated that homeownership is an important factor affecting people's personal benefits and subjective well-being, similar studies in the Chinese context had been lacking. This study was the first of its kind in attempt to explore the impacts of homeownership status, participants' eagerness to homeownership, and perceived possibilities to homeownership on people's mental health and existential well-being (EWB). 293 participants in the age range of 18 years to 50 years or above completed the Homeownership Questionnaire created for this study, Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-Being (PWBS), and Symptoms Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90-R). No significant differences were found on EWB and mental health between participants with homeownership (n = 118) and those without (n = 175) with demographic data controlled. Focusing only on participants without homeownership, there were no significant associations between eagerness to homeownership and EWB and mental health with demographic information controlled. Further comparisons between participants with higher eagerness to homeownership (n = 77) and participants with lower eagerness (n = 98) also showed no significant differences on the overall EWB and mental health between the groups. However, participants with higher eagerness reported significantly better functioning on one domain of EWB, positive relations with others (PR). Moreover, results showed that perceived possibilities to homeownership significantly predicted EWB positively with demographic variables controlled. Participants with higher perceived possibilities to homeownership (n = 75) also showed better EWB and mental health in general, and less symptoms of depression than those with lower perceived possibilities (n = 100). Such findings suggested that perceived possibilities to homeownership was the most important factor regulating people's EWB and depressive mood on issues of homeownership, which seemed to offer metaphysical meaning and ontological security for people to dwell and mobilize.
