New research about property affordability from Online Mortgage Advisor has revealed where in the world property prices have outgrown local wages the most in the last five years.
Researchers compared the difference in square meters — one square meter equals about 10.7639 square feet — of property that a person earning the average annual net salary in each city could afford to buy in 2020 compared to 2016.
