In Scotland different areas need to be considered. An average house price is meaningless in many areas.But interestingly, the wages/house cost unaffordability gap has conspicuously not opened up so much in Scotland.
The majority of sales in Birmingham during the last year were semi-detached properties, selling for an average price of £280,655. Terraced properties sold for an average of £218,899, with flats fetching £160,239.
Overall, sold prices in Birmingham over the last year were similar to the previous year and 4% up on the 2021 peak of £258,975.
You could easily add near £100k to the price of a 3 bed semi in a more popular area. I checked one particular area where the house is on a road which is a major bus route. I had hoped to see what has happened to some rather nice detached houses on the same road.

It's the same everywhere. House prices one way or another are dependent on affluence = jobs effectively.
