I wouldn't call 55% in 7 years "only". Especially given this statistic doesn't highlight type of housing and price groups (read: housing in the far outskirts pulling averages down, though COVID is changing this dynamic). Starter wages have barely risen since then, let alone kept up. And along with the crisis, one now gets far less mortgage for the same inflation-adjusted salary than in 2013, despite the lower rates.
