AFAIK the price is controlled by the domain owner and it is almost never fixed. you can negotiate the price with them. i wouldnt be too worried about the price going up because of this. they want to sell, you want to buy. find an agreement.
if for any reason you two don't find an agreement change the domain slightly. (ie instead of appname.com go with getappname.com or similar)
my fear is that the price of the domain will rise because my product exist. I don't know if another project with domain name are checked...
