If you're ready to buy, buy. There will always be a reason to wait. Just get on with it. People always worry about buying and then seeing prices go down, but the value of your property is irrelevant unless you want to sell. If you buy and then the market crashes, you just sit tight and wait for prices to recover.
My first house cost £64k. Two years later it was worth about £35k. I sold it 5 years later for £135k
