Im just one guy and dont have enough to make a statement right now. Last two both grew up there and are techies. One bought his 1st home a year ago and is looking great. The other bought his 4th property there a few months ago and already looking great on it it He will soon own the whole town LOL
FWIW Ive had 1st time homebuyers put $500K+ down on their first home before. Its not uncommon for immigrant techies to live frugally in apartments while single or recently married and save tons between income and RSUs. Once the kids come and get near school age they buy houses. Thats not something you see in Kansas Toto
