Abraham the land owner?

Genesis Chapter 23

This is a poignant moment in Genesis in this chapter, Abraham’s wife, Sarah, dies.
It is interesting to me that Abraham actually fairly bought the only land  he owned in the current holy land, and that was because he wanted somewhere to call his own to bury his late wife. 

The current trend in the UK seems to be that you are nobody if you do not own your house (or at owe the bank a lot of money and pay them to live in it) 

Abraham never owned property until this time and led the life of a nomad, wandering the land.
