I know people who make less than $150k who have bought homes and condos this year. It's not like every place costs a million dollars. Condos cost significantly less than that, as do homes in downtown San Jose, south San Jose, and east San Jose. I wouldn't personally have bought a home this year, because why buy at the peak? But it is doable. The down payment is the primary hurdle.
