The new NextGen report, taken apart by the people who made it

Next Session · FirstHome IQ Impact Mastermind × National MI Wednesday, October 14, 2026 · 10-11 AM PT / 1-2 PM ET · Zoom

How Your Buyers Are Built to Buy.

The new NextGen report, taken apart by the people who made it.

Nearly 1,000 Gen Z and millennial adults told us how money feels, and the buyers with the best habits carry the same worry and the same suspicion as everyone else. 63% of regular savers still worry about their finances. 54% worry a mortgage professional might take advantage of them, and the share is the same among people who budget and save.

Kristin Messerli conducted How You're Built to Buy, presented by National MI and FirstHome IQ. On this session she takes it apart with Dave Savage, chapter by chapter, with the numbers on screen.

You'll leave with the three findings that change a first conversation, the seven practices the report points to, and what to say when a buyer goes quiet.
