I'm sure that number is a bit exaggerated, but I’m also sure some people do move after realizing the house/location/something else didn’t work for them.

Did you move after buying, and if so, why?

What would be your suggestions on things to consider for making it a “One-and-Done” buy?
Had our house here built to order 22 years ago on a beautiful championship golf course with a lake view. We went over the plans for several days making changes here and there. I would say the lot you pick is even more important than the house you build, you can make changes to the house, but not the lot. Everyday when we open the back blinds we are still in awe of our view and still love it. The only thing we would have changed on the house itself would have been to extend the garage 4 feet forward. We came from a city house with a 1 car garage so our 2 car garage here seemed huge, but otherwise we wouldn’t change a thing.
I would say, build your home and choose your lot and view wisely and you'll be a very happy one and done.
