maybe its a good time to buy, though I expect there will be a better time in the near future.

If the stonk market tanks, say 20-30%, that will be a signal to really start looking as many retirement portfolios will put a hurt on future affordability of living here. Many CFPs will start advising clients to sit tight, not make any huge life changing events if you are currently on the border of making a lifestyle change.

All depends on your financial strength and the ability to avoid a large drawdown. There will be portion of the population here who can not, and that will be the time to bottom pick a really good deal.

oh, and for those new here, I type cautious on the market recently, when risk appears higher than average.
And I define risk as large potential drawdown of asset values.
