People do not stay at one job for a lifetime like they used to for one thing. Another this is that in many markets in the US it is very easy to make money by living in your house a few years and then selling it.

Here in the US, there's job transfers and folks always seem to want to buy a bigger place.
I'm surprised the averag is that long.

there could be many things that could make a person move:
- better job somewhere else
- sick family member
- lost job
- got transfered (job)
