This is what is happening here in the Netherlands. 10 years ago we wanted a house in a specific neighborhood and it was just out of reach financially. Now I make twice as much and it is still out of reach. We are also considering going more rural, prices are just insane now in and around the cities. But we have hardly any building going on, when a house hits the market sometimes 20-40 couples line up and they make one offer blindly, usually well above what the sellers asked for. It's pretty frustrating, soon started will no longer be able to find a house.
