Did I screw up with being born too late?

I was born in 1997, so turned 25 this year. Graduated college in 2020.

I'm currently making around $150k but even then if I save a good half of my takehome it feels like the real estate market is inevitably going to outrun me. I have my eye on a city where the average price is ~$300k at the moment and I'm losing sleep that by the time I save up $60k for a down payment (I plan to take 2 years saving up) the market there will have left me behind.

Is anyone else in the spot where they just feel like they made a mistake with how late they were born and they wish they could go back in time and ask their parents to conceive them earlier?
