Is it possible to put in another choice, based not on time, but on an economic or housing market condition? (Or direction of the wind, alignment of the stars, etc? )

Nope, sorry, afraid not...
***Peeps, really...this poll isn't serious. It's an equivalent poll to chuck22's poll "How much are you willing to lose?" just on the other side of the perspective....
I'll be honest -- while I am very happy with my current home and would not feel deprived if I never moved, I am also well aware that there are NOW some very very attractive values, and a handful of unique properties that I could very well see my self making a bid on in the next 3-6 months...
Maybe it's me, but seems as if alot of the previous "don't buy now' posters are..*gasp* buying??? Could it be?
I think prices will continue to fall. I stand by that thinking based on the economic environment. That being said I am not expecting to buy at the exact bottom either and never thought I was smart or lucky enough to time it.
I will also not overpay today. So buying soon requires a fair price in todays market. (meaning slightly below recent comps) I am prepared to buy but 100% willing to walk away if a seller demands a premium for their property. Trying to keep emotions and feelings out of this as much as possible. Also since I plan to live in this new property till retirement or through retirement (30-50 years) I am not as worried about overpaying today if the house/location is ideal for me.
So buying and buying w/overpaying are two different beasts.
