Four decades ago is when I was born. I don't know about you, but people who moved into my neighborhood never moved out. In fact, many of them, including my mom, are still living in those houses. The only ones who have moved out are those who have died. My friends, on the other hand, move about every two to seven years.
To the article's credit, it does say that those moving in 2007 was down one percent from 2006, but I sure never thought that people are moving less now than they were four decades ago.
I'm wondering if it was a typographical error and should have read "four years ago."
Fortunately, the number of college students graduating each year means that there is a new generation every six months that are needing to buy homes.
