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.
