Buy property first, then wait. Sure or not?

There are states which are doing way better than other states when it comes to property price increase. I mean, transactions are aplenty, of course the prices also inch up faster too. Fundamentally however, inflation happens and therefore, everything will increase in price and so do property too. The inputs into property investment will continue to increase, just a matter of how slowly or how small the increment is. Maybe some will take longer, for example the salary of construction workers. Some may be sudden, like some raw materials which are impacted by oil or logistics or technological inputs etc.
