That's what what my salesman told me too about 2 years ago. I didn't believe it [but I sure was hoping]. I think he was repeating was he was told. The salesman find things out when we do. I heard that many times so I guess it's also true.

The price of the house doubling in such a short time with so much building going on and people leaving the villages for one reason or another makes this seem unlikely.

The one I also found hard to believe that also seems true is that the average villager moves 3 times. That's a lot of money in commissions, banking, lawyers and all the little businesses that go into preparing a house for sales.
