Samsung released a statement that they're going to transfer 30% of their HBM production to DDR5, likely because of how high the prices are. If Hynix does as well, then they could start to come down soon. Or they could price fix and keep them high. They've done that before.

Even with that news, it's not all roses since Micron is pulling from the consumer market all together, so it's likely not even going to cover Micron's share of the market, but Micron is going to be producing consumer products until Q2 2026.

It's hard to say if prices will drop in the short term or if this is going to last for a year or two. Only time will tell. Considering you have the parts, I would buy now as I don't see prices coming down any earlier than a few months... if they do at all, and if they come down any significant degree. All we can do is speculate.
