Moving isn’t as popular as it used to be. I know that older people are less likely to move than younger people are and our population is aging. Younger people are not moving as often either mostly because not as many are moving for jobs.
I’ll admit I haven’t moved in almost 30 years. I haven’t had a reason to move. We usually move because of some life event like getting married, or divorced or having children, becoming empty nesters, retiring, the death of a spouse or old age.
When I started in real estate I was told that on average people move once every seven years. Now it is once every ten years.
According to the U.S. census bureau moving is at a historic low.
