In Milwaukee, 27-year-old Francisco Vazquez manages a fast food restaurant and just bought a three-bedroom home that cost half the national median price.
He saved up aggressively for the down payment, partly while living with his parents.
Compared to millennials, Gen Z homebuyers last year were less likely to have student loan debt or get help from parents.
That's according to the National Association of Realtors.
They were more likely to tap down payment assistance and to be single buyers.

The share of non-homeowners who intend to buy a house in the next five years has fallen to 25 percent.
That's down from nearly 50 percent a decade ago and the lowest since Gallup started tracking this in 2013.
Now, nearly half of non-owners say they do not intend to buy a home anytime soon.
The poll was taken earlier this month, and it comes as median home prices top $400,000 and are historically high compared to average incomes.
For decades, most Americans were optimistic about the housing market, but more than two-thirds say now is a bad time to buy.
Gallup also finds Americans continue to worry about the high cost of living that includes a notable bump up in concern over oil and gas prices.

The letters express concern about cases they say investigators have been forced to drop.
They also describe a culture of fear that's keeping them anonymous.
Last year, HUD fired fair housing whistleblower Paul Osadebe, a civil rights lawyer and union steward who helped put out these letters.
