Was just over at dad's and realized he's been in the same house for 75 years!!!!! Moved there when he was 7 and bought the house from his mom. Then I was born and raised in the same house and never moved! This is my second owned house I'm in now and will be 24 years in May. Think I saw a survey where the average home owner moves every 7 years.
We have been in our present house for 36 years now. Have thought about moving but the real estate fees, lawyer fees,property transfer fees etc. make it very unlikely that I will do it soon. Yes BC means bring cash!
Wow, we have been in place here since November '88 so 35 years!
Right now I am tasked with emptying a storage unit that was filled with the contents of my parent's house where they stayed for 37 years. One can really accumulate stuff without any real desire to do so. I'm drowning...

Mom and Dad moved into their house Sept 1951. After Dad passed in 2016 mom stayed on till 2019 when her mobility failed and she sold the family home. Quick math tells me 68+ years. We are in our downsized 4th house 13 years now. First house was 3 years, then 13 yrs at #2, 18 yrs at#3.
Not counting the flat we were in when "living in sin" we had a semi in suburban London for 6 years then moved to our current centre of the universe, now 40 years come Easter. Because of all the hassle mentioned by others (not to mention the monetary cost), after we moved in I said; "That's it, we're here forever, not doing that again."
