A country having high GDP or personal income doesn't mean that things like housing, healthcare, childcare, or education are more affordable. For things like that where the buyer tends to have low leverage in the transaction costs tend to climb with ability to pay. In countries with strong lending infrastructure that goes past the limits of cash and into what buyers can borrow.

Median household income isn't enough to afford a 3 bedroom place to live so you can imagine that's causing some problems.
