I guess I'm lucky, the home I purchased 12 years ago it's the one I'm still in and happy to be here.

You quoted OP, reread his initial post. OP is asking a question of what has been said, “average villagers move 3times”.
So OP isn’t using his logic, but asking a question. Next OP has not bought a home in TV yet, is coming to explore TV. Using information from TOTV (good or bad) to hopefully use information important to them while enjoying their experiences.
Posters that have moved more than once have given their thoughts on their own experiences. No guessing needed why they choose not to stay in the same house for multiple years.
Even Goldwingnut, has expressed possibly moving to newer area after multiple years in the same home.
Many believe in aging in place, but as younger gens come here, they have zero attachment and moving isn’t as big a problem as other residents.
Everyone has their own preferences on how to enjoy life, or increase their income by multiple home buying. It’s what make TV so unique, everyone get to enjoy what makes their lives better for them.
After close to 15 years, watching the growth of everything in TV, moving to new areas and enjoying what is important to us is just normal. After 4 homes up north, and 4 homes in TV, moving has never been a big deal. Our oldest just visited and even mentioned the new areas are looking inviting. Change and adapting never gets boring for us.
