Last dip was nearly 3 months ago . Anybody buying anything at these prices? Afraid to buy anything here because seems almost everything is overbought. Bought a few dips recently on bad news like EQIX.

Just dollar cost average in same time every month/paycheck and stop worrying about timing the market all the time

I buy when it goes up, and I buy more when it goes down.

This.
I have auto investments set up so monthly it automatically withdraws from my savings to my individual account which automatically purchases shares in certain stocks.
Doesn’t matter the share price, same amount, same time, every month
ETA: the ONLY time price matters to me is if I need to sell shares for a large purchase, I.e. car or house, and in those situations, I’ll try to only sell shares that are above the current price

The second best time is today...
EDIT: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 4,780.43 on July 1, 1995. As I write this the DJIA is at 44,525,55.

We were told the economy was crashing just 30days ago

The market averages 10% per year and I am at the mid point of this year myself at 4.07%. Sounds like we are lagging

I’m at 11.29% on my company 401k and a few months ago I was negative for the year by a couple percent. Pretty good swing and I’ve been buying weekly like normal.

I'm at 11.96% in the past quarter and it was treading water for the first 3 months of the year.

S&P is only 5.5% for year, so you 11%ers are on a roll. 
. Proof to buying dips.
Back to OP though, market is on historical growth pace.

The value of the US currency has fallen by 10.8% against other major currencies. I'm not making a judgment one way or the other about currency strength, as it's a source of constant debate among economic and trade policy analysts.
Nevertheless, some of that is being factored into the market's rise.

The S&P is up about 5 percent YTD and about 12 percent over the past year. That is just slightly above average. Those are very good returns but I wouldn’t call it irrational exuberance.

I'll put a plug in for value cost averaging.
You're not timing the market, but you have an expected growth rate depending on the stock you're invested in. I use leveraged ETFs.
If the stock price at the end of the quarter is above the expectation, sell down to the expectation.
If the stock price is below the expectation, buy up to the expectation.
My "dry powder" for buying is usually kept in bond funds.
It doesn't matter what's going on in the world. No opinion goes into the trade. Just math.

It's called a lockout rally. We're melting up baw.

It’s very hard to find value right now

Confidence goes a long way.
You may not agree with Trump but he instills confidence and no nonsense in the market.
