I don’t really understand how you don’t understand that buying a house requires cash on hand.

Closing costs can be rolled into the mortgage and PMI drastically reduces how much is required for a downpayment.

Rents are also much cheaper in these areas too, which makes it much easier to save up for a PMI lowered downpayment.
