Not necessarily silly for the short run. With a purchase, he's going to be paying $3,600/yr more a month plus any upkeep on the house. His mortgage payment will only be contributing about $2,500/yr to principal.

A year renting might be a good short term solution to ensure job security and the area they want to live in. Plus, it gets them out of the house quicker.
