Megan Aubuchon is a decade ahead of the national average in completing a key life goal: buying a home. It was a really cool opportunity to close out on a home, especially as a first-time buyer, said Aubuchon, 23, after she was able to buy a new home in north Springfield earlier in May.
The median age for first-time homebuyers is 33, according to the National Association of Realtors. Aubuchon, though younger than the typical homeowner, is one of many nationwide to take advantage of historically-low interest rates to purchase a home.
Local experts were conflicted, however, when they were asked if they would advise buying a home right now due to market uncertainties.

Ste. Genevieve High School senior Megan Aubuchon continues to be the benchmark in the high jump.
Aubuchon now has the school record all to herself after a 1.68-meter leap this past Friday at the Old Settlement Relays at Dragon Field.
“Megan’s doing a lot of things right,” said Ste. Genevieve head girls’ track and field coach Tyne Huck. “She’s driving her knee, getting up and bending over the bar.”
When Huck watched Aubuchon establish her new school record, she said Megan could have easily cleared a few more millimeters.
It was part of a dynamic meet for Aubuchon, who won three events including both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles with respective times of 15.15 and 48.05 seconds.
