We started with a PV, then purchased as a vaca home, with both set of parents to use.
One house not enough so 3/2 cottage, that eventually was a long term rental.
Next house preowned 3/2 2car/golf cart garage. We did not fit in with 95% of the residents older than our parents. Sidewalks were rolled up 6pm.

This house due to unforeseen circumstances, we needed a 4/3 to accommodate aging dementia parents.

In 15+ years here are a few reasons residents multi move.
Garage/SF too small
Spouse dies selling larger SF downsize smaller.
Golf course/road view becomes no longer desirable.
Wife can’t live without grandkids, move, then return when no longer useful.
There are some who buy/sell every 2-3 years and pocket the profit
