Unmotivated seller wanting to retire - Advice

The property they have is slightly overpriced. How could I approach this situation when they have told me they are unmotivated to sell (listing has been on the market since Sept 2016) and unwilling to budge. They are also planning to retire soon but that could be next year or in 10 years. I asked if they are willing to do seller financing, they also said no to that. I am thinking this may good since this is my first property and I can talk them into a long due diligence period to assure everything on the property is up to code. Any advice?

Why would you waste your time on an unmotivated seller? You want a Motivated seller that's looking to deal.
