To the point where you need a double income for a reasonable house.

Even for a double income, it's insane. In NL, the average price of a home is 315k, while the median full-time income is 36k per year (pre-tax). Even with a double income, that's 4.5 years of household income, comparable to the peak ratio in the US before the housing bubble burst in 2008.



Population density of NL is like 10x that of the US so I really would expect housing to be much more expensive in NL.
