I would almost always suggest renting over buying for awhile until you're sure that area is where you want to stay.

Beyond that, market is god awful for buyers right now. It definitely isn't going to sustain and without veerinng DC, it's best to wait unless you're selling. The bottom is going to fall out again.

That isn't true. That's only true if you are a sheep and go for a 30 year mortgage like everyone else.
