Yes, and no. The important part is in the land - it counts for more than the house. Usually people will retain the land, and rebuild a new house on the same spot. So while the house is new, they don`t really "move". Buying a house, selling, then moving to another is quite uncommon. Children moving out of the family home and buying their own land with a new house on top or building a new house on top is quite normal. Which then becomes the family home for their children, one of which will probably grow up to build a new house on the same spot... While the others move out and establish their own homes, etc, ad infinitum.
Once people buy land and house, it`s not common to move.
