Greetings!
Getting back to the basics here, real estate markets are cyclical.  You should buy when the market is down and sell when the market is high.  Just think, in 5 years will you be looking back and saying "I wish I had bought something back then."  Don't miss the boat.  I think its best stated by Warren Buffet "Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it."
