This is a dumb issue. McCain didn't answer because media reports had varied widely and it isn't cut and dry about what houses are his, his and Cindy's, owned by Cindy's business interests, etc. Even if it were, McCain doesn't handle that stuff. The assets of himself and his wife are certainly managed under a holding company. 7 is the number used by the Obama campaign, but the true number has been reported as being anywhere between 5 and 12.
McCain's staff knew this issue would be raised at some point and his staff had advised him to refer that question to his staff so that the media could be provided with the proper breakdown.
Why should McCain worry about his financial holdings anyway? I think he should focus on the issues that he will need to address as President of the United States.
