my advice is don't wait.

I put $0 down, and have to pay the dreaded PMI. Within a year, hoping the bubble doesn't burst too bad, I will have the 20% equity, can stop the PMI, and already have a place at a better price. After 5 months, I am almost at the 20%.

Based on the bidding wars going on right now(during the winter season too), there isnt a shortage of buyers around here.
