Merd-
Hard to say whether someone should be concerned. Should it be on your radar? Sure. But no more now than 4 months ago when the eruption changed. Even if the new eruption stops (which it hasn't done), you should buy a house fully cognizant that every day is a new day with the volcano and that there are no promises. As Greg points out, it's fine living near the volcano if you are prepared that you may need to move or adjust. That's where the notion of needing to be concerned is a personal matter. No one here can reassure you that a particular neighborhood will or will not be endangered in the future.
Aloha, Mike
