I think the high prices are a bubble that will break whenever the computer chip supply returns and the stockpile of unfinished trucks is released. So if you can sell now and wait to buy, you are fortunate.
Probably a good thing. My parents have a 2021 Tahoe with the 5.3AFM and at 4K miles the lifters went south. Repaired under warranty but seems like a TON of trucks built between Jan and April of 2021 are going to have issues with lifters. My parents truck was built in March and they got it the first week of May I believe.

The other bottle neck is chips Ford is having the same issue.
