Ah, grasshopper………have patience. Do NOT listen to the realtors. Patience will bring big rewards for those who wait. There will always be greater fools (knife catchers) in any market and those fools who ignore hard, in-your-face evidence that all is not rosy will live to regret the day that they bought way too early.
If your domestic situation requires that you buy now, at least you will have the fact that she “MADE YOU” spend $100’s of thousands too much so she could “OWN” her dream home, NOW, to throw in her face for many years yet to come.
