I see two things.
1) you like where you are and dont really want to move but are worried about your job.
2) youd move if it ment being able to buy again in the future for considerably less.
Id say stay where you are, but that is just me. If you are worried about stability, cut costs and save like mad. Accoding to your own admission, things really wont get bad for another year. Gov is terrible at cutting people ahead of the problem, so you should have a job for then next 12-18 months no prob. Hopefully by then, you will have saved 12+months of cash on hand. That means you could be ok for the next 2+ years. Hopefully you are not so nich that you couldnt find a job in a year of looking.
As for #2, The only really good reason to buy now is the emotional/family reasons we gloss over here at the pig. Conversly that is also the only really good reason to sell right now if you dont have to. If you hated your neighbors, were about to enroll a kid at a terrible school, just got fired, or etc etc, then you should sell. But if you like where you are, can afford it, and are happy, is it really worth it?
*(BTW, I have never owned a house, so my advice is just randomness from someone you have never met. Treat it as such. It is very likely that you could buy something similar in the future for less, so the choice is yours)
