Congratulations on having completely different priorities than 99% of people that buy a house.

For the other 99%, time marches on - they want to have children and raise those children in a house _within a fixed timeline_. Because of time, they are unable to wait forever, so they (figuratively) put a stake in the ground and realize that a house is a home - not an investment - where they can raise a family. Since those 99% of people aren't waiting for the lowest price, housing prices don't collapse and rental prices don't skyrocket.
