Agreed, if you're certain that you're not moving, a house makes sense, otherwise, well, you can certainly make efforts to sell the house so you can move, but that's a bit nervewracking in that you don't know if you'll succeed.
In my case, I am pretty sure I'm going to be staying in the San Francisco south bay area for the foreseeable future, so... House is fine by me.
Helps a lot that my mom's a real estate agent and that my parents helped with the loan cost, so it's much smaller than it'd otherwise be, by about 30% or so.
