I can say that in our Midwest real estate market the BEST deal of the year can be had by negotiating in the few weeks around Thanksgiving. The market just shuts down, and Sellers who are still on the market at that point probably need to sell. If you wait until too close to the end of December though, Sellers see the "light" at the end of the tunnel. Most years activity picks up a pinch in January then noticeably in mid February to mid March. Every year varies, the last few more than most, but waiting it out and pulling the trigger later in the year wouldn't be the worst thing regards getting a deal... just be careful though, if you look now you might find a property you "have to" have and end up doing something you maybe shouldn't?
If some of the best times of my life were skiing the UP in -40 wind chill with nothing but jeans, cotton long johns and a wine flask to keep warm while sleeping in the back of my dad's van... does that make me old school?
