While some people do move to upsize or downsize, I have to wonder if the "three moves on average" statistic is misleading. There are posts on this thread about people that have moved seven or eight times. Let's say that a person moves seven times and another moves eight times and three people never move. That's an average of three moves per person. But it really doesn't tell the story.

There are other posts about people flipping houses. Some people buy a second house ad rent it out as a source of income. Are those sales considered moves?

If these things are happening a lot, it would bring that "average" way up when the majority of people buy one house and stay in it for the rest of their lives.
