Some people buy and sell houses and are hypersensitive to house price fluctuations. Perhaps he is looking to buy a home - not a short term investment.
In which case, stalling in case the market falls is stalling while prices are rising, and stalling while interest rates are low.
You’re saying your friends are scared to move - maybe, just maybe, they are happy where they are at the minute, and are enjoying their home. That’s not being scared or being risk averse or not making plans, that’s about buying somewhere they like as a place to live and not as a temporary house to last until they must buy something more expensive to keep up with heir friends.

If all you are doing is trying to force him to invest in somewhere that he doesn’t like, based on your opinion of what a house can only be for, then maybe ask him is he doing it as an investment, or is he looking to buy a home to live in for a few years.
The fact that he was talking about wanting a place with land would make it seem that he has a longer term goal than financial investment. Maybe he’s not interested in living in high rise blocks of flats in a concrete jungle and actually wants a bit of peace and quiet, a view of grass and trees and a place he can call home.
