6 months is the minimum recommended safety net, but in this environment 12 months gives you more of a buffer.

In your case, just focus on saving for a down payment since your parents have the other expenses covered.
Plus I don't think you'll be able to get a home loan with just 3 months on the job. Home loan requirements are pretty strict now. Just save up your money for now.
