If I were you, I would definitely stay put. Who wants to rent a house for 5 years? Who knows how many different rentals you may have to move to if the owner sells or wants to move into his rental? If I told my wife we were going to sell our house and rent a house for the next 5 years she might kill me. I’m sure the market value on your house will drop at least some in the next two years, but by 2011 the value may be close to today’s value, plus or minus.
