One thing that would push me to buy would be concern for increasing interest rates if inflation hits.

Low interest rates are keeping me from buying. they are holding up the prices of houses too much. Once the interest rates rise, and the asking prices go down, then I will consider buying. But the worst time to buy a house is at the trough of an interest rate cycle.

You pay on the price side or the interest side. This is a time when both are low.
