When asked where I'm from, I always say Louisiana even though I haven't lived there since 1984. Both my parents were born and raised in New Orleans and I still have a number of relatives still living in the state. I follow the sports teams, news and culture of the state even though I only get back to visit every couple of years.
Being a military brat, who later joined the military, I have lived one of more years in four overseas locations and have lived in nine states at various times. I moved here from Virginia, but my heart and soul will always can Louisiana home.

I believe their usual listings reflect only purchases of homes when they are first sold by the developer. Here's why I think this:
In the sales office buildings they have a board with the names of all new Villagers. Except, they're not "all" new Villagers. They're ONLY new Villagers who have purchased new homes from the developer. Whenever I go in there (it's a great place to just sit and relax, like an extended living room), I check. I never see /any/ listings of anyone now living in villages near Sumter or Spanish Springs - and I know there are plenty being sold.
