Buy or wait?

I'm faced with a decision of settling for a house that I'm not really happy with (or in a location I'm not really happy with). Or, wait, continue to save, hope my salary goes up (unlikely) and buy later (and hope that house prices don't go up in the meantime). I also read in the MSE newsletter today that this is a rare opportunity for a low interest fixed rate mortgage, which should perhaps influence my decision.
What are your thoughts? Cheers! Matt
