You heard correctly....we've been here 14 yrs in our 1st house. We moved many times before retirement (varying reasons) and were sick of it. Said once here, once and done!! We are satisfied with our choice. I've wondered the reasoning so many make several changes. Is it disatisfaction?? People's circumstances change over time and it can happen quickly as we age. We "might" have considered making a change a handful of years ago "IF" the move would have been a lateral one. Meaning not taking on more expense. We have a modest 3 bed. ranch and love our area. We'd have gone to a smaller place with NO outside maintenance. BUT we'd done some improvements on this house and didn't want to lose that and replacement wouldn't have worked as well, so we stayed. NOW 14 yrs later both of us have health issues to consider---maybe we should have moved before the prices spiked as they did. I see you, the OP, are making your first post so wondering why this particular question for your 1st time??!!!
