I wonder if the distribution of ages for home buyers is not a normal distribution and maybe the median and standard deviations might tell us something more here. Regardless it's concerning that the average and likely median age has shot up that much.

Well, since 1980, the median age in the population has also increased by about a decade, which is a significant (but not a majority) contributor to this.
