“… is necessarily true. Though I agree with much else of what you state. First of all – most people don’t raise a family for 30 years. My parents bought their final home together when I was 9 and sold it when I was 21… 12 years is a pretty good number – especially with the current trends in lifestyles, etc.”
cyphire, I agree with the rest of your post and regarding this statement, in general, I agree as well. However, there are a good portion of the people I know who live in their house for well over 15 years. For many of them, that was their first home as well. They truly can call it their home and they have no intention of moving anytime soon. My parents for example bought their house in 1989 and still living there now. 1/2 of the people on their street bought their around the same time (new) as well and they’re still there. Most of them are Asian of course, so that might be the reason. This just prove my point earlier that we all have our own opinion based on what we see and our personal experiences. It doesn’t always apply the the next person. I love your post because it’s doesn’t sound like you’re trying to shove your opinion down anyone’s throat and calling them names; but more of just expressing your opinion and data. Data is the reason I’m still here.
