Description

FirstHome IQ Co-Founder & Executive Director Kristin Messerli joins Housing Insiders to reveal the surprising stats & trends from the 2025 NextGen Homebuyer Report. The report covers Millennial and Gen Z homebuying trends, tying to Kristin’s mission of delivering homeowner education before the age of 25. Hear why Millennials and Gen Zers are less trusting of professionals in the housing industry, how we can reduce “overwhelm” for the next generation of homebuyers, why homebuying is actually more emotional than financial, and whether people are still saving up to buy their first home.
