The average age of a first-time homebuyer in 2024 was 38—nearly a decade older than it was just 10 years ago. For too many Americans, the dream of homeownership feels increasingly out of reach, causing their overall wealth to lag behind that of their parents at the same age.
While headlines focus on the housing affordability crisis, another critical issue is unfolding—one that rarely makes the news: the widespread lack of financial literacy among American consumers.
As an industry, we have a vested interest in ensuring future generations of homeowners not only understand how homeownership builds financial security but also develop the financial disciplines needed to qualify sooner rather than later.
It's a challenge that FirstHome IQ, a nonprofit founded and supported by mortgage professionals, is working to solve. Leading this effort is Kristin Messerli, a home finance educator and advocate who has dedicated her career to making homeownership more attainable.
Don’t miss this timely conversation about one of the most pressing challenges—and greatest opportunities—facing the mortgage industry today.
