I would answer that by looking at supply first, not emotion
If you are stuck between buying now or waiting for something better in Menifee, CA, I would start with the supply question. Recent supply stood at 2.06 months, which tells me choices are still somewhat limited, so waiting only makes sense when the current options clearly miss your real needs.
A supply level of 2.06 months is not abundant. In Menifee, CA, that still points to a market where strong homes can attract attention, even though a typical sale took 50 days last month rather than moving at a breakneck pace.
That is why I do not like vague waiting. If you are passing on homes that already fit your budget and priorities, you may just be delaying a workable decision. If the current choices truly miss the mark, then waiting becomes a strategic decision instead of a fearful one.
Write down your non-negotiables before the next showing. Compare each home to that list, not to an imaginary future listing. I would wait only when the gap is real, not when the hesitation is emotional.
