Sorry I didn't transfer my line of thinking to a 2-3 year scenerio. You are correct that for 2-3 years, renting/buying is a much more difficult choice. Do people actually buy primary residences for 2-3 years? That never even crossed my mind.

When someone says short term to me in real estate terms, I think 5 years minimum.
