I am with folks here who say wait longer. I am trying to keep my wife at bay to wait until about this time next year to buy, but I may loose and buy this year.

BUT I am being very agressive with “low ball” offers. Don’t worry about insulting or pissing off the seller. Make your low ball offer. If they don’t counter, move on. It is like fishing in a fish farm, eventually somebody will be hungry enough to bite.
