Watching Your Company Stocks

I noticed my company stock shot up a few dollars yesterday with reporting of good quarterly earnings, so I decided at this point in my life I needed to sell a few shares. I decided that I would sell 75 shares which was over half of what I had in order to get some much needed capital to put a down payment on a new home which I also consider a bigtime investment. So if you were in my situation would you also move around some of your money just to get the house of your dreams? I decided that making my payment that much lower and selling while my stock was up was the best decision I could have made at the time. If you have thoughts on this let me know what you think?
