Good Luck Chris! Its my pleasure to help. The most valuable advice I could give you or anyone is that while prices may not actually decline much more, the risk of them climbing rapidly is almost nil (i.e. some downside risk but virtually no upside risk).
In RE you are always making decisions based upon a snapshot of limited information and there is no way to know what will come on the market tommorrow. Take the time to educate yourself on the various areas you think you might like and do your best to find exactly what you want. In the long run, the return will be much higher and more important in terms of happiness with where you are than how much your home is worth.
