Of course my sample size is limited, but except in some rare circumstances where I live (Munich) people don't just buy or build a house before they're 40-50 unless they got money from their parents. Even with a job in tech. The pay absolutely looks great when viewed from a perspective of having less, but if you're actually saving up for a house and want to stay here and not live somewhere remotely, it's really hard. But this is one of the most expensive cities. You can be lucky and be living in a small town 50-100km outside and if you don't have to commute daily, it's completely reasonable to buy a house (on rates) in your late 20s.
