Moving after short time

I have moved many times over the years to the point it is embarrassing to tell people.
Our last move was 6 months ago and from a Victorian semi to a detached 15 year old house. We have got a small garden now which is the only bonus but how I miss my old house and older houses in general.
If we do move it would probably lower our mortgage as older houses are slightly cheaper in the area.
Has anyone else moved so quickly or would you see it out in the hope it starts to feel more like home in time?

If you can afford to move then move but from a buyers perspective I would be put off because who leaves after six months?

Why do you move so often, are you moving because of personal circumstances, schools, work, problems with the house, location, affordability, neighbours etc or are you always looking for the "perfect" house?
People do move house because it turned out to be the wrong house at the wrong time but when you say you are embarrassed about the number of times you have moved, I wonder if you are chasing a unicorn?
There must have been a reason who you moved from an older property to a newer one if you love older properties in general?
Are the family happy with the constant disruption?

Personally I couldn't be doing with the constant upheaval and cost (can be a very significant sum) but have always looked long & hard at the property before buying and stay a long time.
