is it safe to wait a year or so before buying? I am in Northern Ca.,

Yes, I'd say you are safe as far as prices go. Interest rates are more unpredictable. Use the time to save up for the purchase.

This is a very unusual market, and no one really knows what the future will hold. In my opinion though, I don't think the drop will continue through the summer of this year.
