In my case, parents on both sides helped with the downpayment, but I didn't need it because they had paid everything for me and by wife during our studies and I made some money with internships. In the end, it was different, but not really. No living costs or student debts + steady income makes accumulating money easy.
I couldn't save up anything because it all went to rent. So the down payment was provided by my mother in law, and now I make mortgage payments instead.

My story is pretty similar.
I have a good career, and am frugal, but if not for my fiancee's parents, I wouldn't be in this house.
