So yes, they are scaling back by selling less homes. Demand has dropped off some. That’s OK though, labor is tightening further.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, the last 6 months percentage of new homes being bought by current TV residents, seems to be growing. Residents aren’t moving out, but to different homes, adding their current home to preowned sales. Raises % of homes for sale, along with % new sales.

For many years most residents seemed to age in place. If they sold it was death, memory care, or missed the grands.

With younger residents, moving to different homes doesn’t seem unusual. New areas are a draw for many, leaving older neighborhoods. Probably boosting the average move 2.5 times closer to 3
