With high interest rates, you might get good return on savings account, but it will make the mortgage payments much higher. Most people prefer to get a mortgage and move in earlier in their lives, instead of saving for decade or two in order to buy house/apartment with cash in their mid 30s or even 40s.

Buying means your housing cost is now an investment (minus interest, tax, and upkeep) rather than just an expense. Now it could well be a terrible investment, but in theory you’ll own something of value in the end in addition to the housing you had as you paid.
