Trying to get a bit closer:

[1] says median household income is apparently 4.8k€/month, so around 58k€/year (before tax). Average housing prices seem to be between 250k and 400k (couldn't find a good source). That would be 4.3~6.9 ratio. (edit: Quality of this estimate is probably still low.)

Personally, I believe (affordability of) average housing prices to be a very useless statistic, due to the extreme regional and local variation in housing prices (and incomes). But maybe I am wrong about that and it is a good indicator.
