There article you link says it in the first two lines: "In the US, first-time homebuyers are, on average, 33 years old. The average age of homebuyers overall is 47." The article is not talking about first time home buyers so 47 is the number you want.

The average can be weighed significantly by the extremes. The average age doesn't have to be number 25 on the list (if we were doing a list of states, unsure of the number of metros in the study). There's probably a bunch of states or metro areas that all have about the same average age of homebuying. So one state with a much lower average brings the overall average down.

I think the discrepancy is the article you linked included the shithole rural areas where you can buy a house for an eight ball and subsidized trip to the dentist.

Edit: toothless dipshits are mad lol
