SO most of them have a different mind set than you. You may have bought your near ideal house and financially secure. Others might want to take the appreciation and build another house at a cheaper price as its cheaper to build in a new location or build a better house with the profits. . also there are divorce reasons, medical/death reasons, family reasons. . those three reasons are the big three which a retirement population deals with all the time. . . and cause house turnovers. . . the fourth is house appreciation to add to financial security. .
fifth is downsizing with age . . . not high on the list. .

we bought ours at $355, currently zillow at $560, that's a nice chunk of change if we needed more savings for retirement . . .

so the answer is not everyone thinks like you, not everyone has your financial situation, and if you are wanting to move to TV, a resale gets you here faster, if you can afford it. .

have an open mind. .
