Snaleandthewhail · 02/02/2020 19:47

12 and I’m 38. It has slowed down massively though - I was at 11 at 24.

DH has an aunt who is on her second home at 65.

My mum’s oldest friend from school still lives in the house she was born in (and goes back four generations). It’s a small terraced house and she never moved out apart from going to university 10 miles away.

Deadringer · 02/02/2020 19:47

50s and have lived in 3 different houses.

NickMarlow · 02/02/2020 19:49

Mid 30s.
4 as a child, 3 as a student, a 3 months house sit and then 2 proper homes as an adult. So either 6 or 10 depending on how you count it!

9 houseshares aged 18-27 as a single person

Dreamstosell · 02/02/2020 19:58

I’m 53 and have lived in 7 houses - all in the same area of my home town. My children (mid teens) have lived in 3 houses. Been in this house 12 years and probably won’t move again

MissCherryCakeyBun · 02/02/2020 19:59

OH is ex military but discounting that....6 and that includes current house
Me.....19 including one house for 19 years and another for 6 and another for 5. I'm 52 and left home at 15 and over the years have lived in many places. I will never forgive my ex husband for forcing me to have to sell the only place prior to where I am now that I really called home...where I bought my daughter up and had happy happy times for 19 years.
Where I live now is far away from previous places I've lived and now with a new partner we are building our home together and I'm truly happy

Dennisreynoldsduster · 02/02/2020 20:00

11 and I’m 35

TreestumpsAndTrampolines · 02/02/2020 20:01

42, and I've lived in 26 homes (only counting those 3 months or more). My eldest is 9, he's lived in 14, youngest (6) 10.

We're definitely at the edges of the curve though, and trying to buy a place and stay put now (I only lived in one place until I was 18)
