This comment is quite a wild ride so much so that I read it twice. I'll just focus on your first point: patience. You might be right there but as you pointed out the last four years have been rough for buyers and patience can only last so long. Gotta understand a buyer getting traumatized by having to bid on a house they haven't even toured, buyers given only 15 minutes to view a house, 20+ offers on a house, offering $20k over asking and still not getting it. With no end in sight.
