Schaum,
Try not to let the notion of 'fish or cut bait' affect you. If you want a never before lived in home, then yes, eventually they will be all sold, but there will always be re-sales and there will always be reasonable prices found.
In re-sales, there WILL be those who want to hold out for the top dollar (whether it is to their benefit in the end or not) but also those who want to sell asap and so price accordingly. (and in re-sales there is always room to negotiate)
I have seen a number of very attractive NEWER re-sales at remarkably affordable prices and with some or all of the bond paid to boot!
If and when you are ready, I believe you will find the home that's right for you.
The salesperson was planting a seed to motivate you.
