irvinesinglemom, try an experiment… Just sit tight for say 6 months and see what happens. Perhaps even go and pick out 10 or 15 different homes you would really like and then track them on realtor.com or a similar website. Then just sit tight and see if they sell. If they do sell see what the final sales price is… Then take a look at the results 6 months from now and see how it went. Most of us here would bet money that in 6 months you will be glad you held out.

Sometimes patience and breaking out of a certain mindset is the hardest part of the battle.
