It is. The "56" in the headline is skewed because of repeat buyers. Average age of first time buyers is 38, and that's skewed because of inflation/high interest rates of the last four years. It had been very steady around 30 for the last 50 years. Also, the 30 year fixed mortgage which is not as common abroad helps, but moreso when rates are low.
