Wages are not comparable to asset prices since one is an over time payment and the other is a quantity at one time.

In any cases total wages (well, income) are equal to GDP so I don’t think anyone is against an overall rise (in real terms).

They get directly compared when getting a mortgage though - typically there's affordability criteria including the ratio of income to mortgage amount.
