Buy again when the time is right.

Hypothetical example:

-Sell for $250-$300K
-Rent for 1-4 years
-Buy "retirement home" at $150-200k

It all depends on what you think will happen to housing values where you plant to retire.
This is the house we plan to retire in. Our market has remained relatively stable during the housing crisis, and I can't see us being able to buy the house back cheaper than what we owe right now.
