Explanation:
also known as an owner-occupant or home owner) is a person who lives in and owns the same home. It is a type of housing tenure.
The home of the owner-occupier may be, for example, a house, apartment, condominium, or a housing cooperative. The immovable property of the owner, which includes the home and the land upon which it sits, is known as the real estate.

disagree  Sven Petersson: 1. Det behöver inte vara ett hus; det kan lika väl vara en bostadsrättslägenhet. 2. Det är långt ifrån självklart att en husägare bor i sitt hus.

  -> du har helt rätt...kan vara lägenhet också...:)
agree  Anna Herbst: Ordet är kort och koncist och du har gett en utförlig förklaring som klart visar att det kan vara olika typer av bostad man äger. För att det hela ska bli klarare, kanske en omskrivning som "Äger du din bostad?" skulle vara ännu bättre.
