Spanish term or phrase: concretar el sueño de la casa propia
Estamos apoyando el crecimiento de las pequeñas empresas, * la concreción del sueño de la casa propia * y la mejor atención a través de una amplia red de sucursales en todo el país y sus canales alternativos.

Escribí "concretar", porque se me hace que con verbos, en lugar de sustantivos, quedaría más natural en inglés.

Thanks in advance!

realizing the dream of having one's own home


Explanation:
An alternate version, according to the bank's objectives, would be "buying one's own home". The idea of "realizing a dream" is as strong as the idea of "concentando el sueño" in Spanish.

the realization of one's dream home


Explanation:
Creo que también puede usarse un nombre, aunque en inglés sean más frecuentes los verbos. (Pero también doy mi voto a la primera propuesta, que me parece correcta.)
Ejemplo, con una frase ligeramente diferente, y con un significado ligeramente diferente:

Santa Clara County > Company Profile > Goff Development & Design ...
At Goff, we do everything we can to make the realization of one's dream home<(b> an exciting and positive experience.” EXCERPTED SURVEY RESPONSES ...

En vista del comentario que he recibido, te mando otro ejemplo con sustantivo, que yo prefiero pues hay uno en la frase anterior (crecimiento) y otro en la siguiente (atención):

neutral  Eng2Span: the term "dream home" is usually for the best possible house one could ever imagine owning (or renting even)... mansions, house in the country, etc. The dream of owning a home can mean any home, even a small or old starter one to be upgraded from later.

  -> You are right. The meaning is different and I was aware of that. I just wanted to provide an example of a similar phrase with a noun, instead of a verb.
