For someone starting with nothing the medium priced property does not fit, hence wages are relevant and restrict ones price point.
For people who already have something, may have bought a dump, put on a new verandah, rode the boom then wages are not so relevant.
If you have a house fully paid worth 800k and want to upgrade to a 1.2m home you are only at 4.5 average wage. 2 income family doing this is even easier.
People inherit money all the time. Gives people the opportunity to upgrade to a suburb they might aspire to.
Wages only impact on the serviceability of a loan, they do not restrict price growth.
