We lived in a cyv by a square. Once airbnb arrived, neighbors starting renting their homes or sold them to investors. After 3 years, we grew tired of this and moved. We love our new home and have no plans on moving. We are blessed to be living in a neighborhood full of wonderful people.

Life changes is probably the reason most move. Second, the size of the home is not efficient for their lifestyle. Either too large with lots of maintenance or too small to entertain. Most realize even if you make a profit on your home, the next home you purchase will cost more. So, the MAJORITY stay put.

Realtors often tell buyers that residents move often to hook them into buying. "Don't worry! If you don't like it, you can always move. In fact most Villagers move three times!" is their favorite line. Every buyer has heard it. Makes me wonder if they are trained to repeat the same sales pitch to all.
