>> There is a shortage of handy people is my take.

I don't think that. The housing prices are so high due "network effects". The land costs more than the house and everyone wants the same land parcel. I would definitely buy a land parcel and build a nice house but that parcel's almost 4 times more expensive than 2 bedroom flat so I stick to the overpriced 2 bedroom for now.
