Top it with best-in-decades interest rates below 5 percent that could be squashed by growing concerns of hyperinflation (see: $2.9 trillion in bailouts), and buying now is very attractive, even if prices drop 20 percent from today, probably the worst-case scenario. Interest rates would need to increase only to 7 percent —- normal, even good, by historical standards —- to negate a 20 percent savings on the price.
