Maybe this number supports the younger average age number as some people still work when they purchase? If not the average villager is doing a heck of alot better than I will do in retirement!
This does not surprise me---$93,800 income for the current home buyers. TV is selling Premier Homes as fast as they can build them. Many of them are 750,000-850,000 with 40,000 plus bonds. All other models are higher priced too. IMHO some over exuberance to buy new while you can! After build out, I believe home prices will level off and perhaps even drop a bit due to the fact there will be no new homes being built. This is probably a minority opinion.
