Hello!
Rather than making blanket generalizations on a home and neighborhood I haven't seen, I prefer to evaluate each property on its own.
Perhaps this particular home has just happened to host several families in what appears to be a brief time frame by coincidence. For instance, the first owners could have been in town for a brief time, and had chosen to buy something they could resell easily (GOOD neighborhood, neighbors, HOA, home, etc.) and not sink the money into a rental. There are many reasons that people decide to move-financial concerns, job relocation, family demands, and the like.
Your best option for researching is to work with a professional Realtor who can check resources to which the general public may not have access. He or she would meet with you, discuss your preferences (everyone's definition of "problems" is different!), and set up a search for the appropriate criteria. The next step is to schedule visits to things that interest you and see how they will or will not work for your needs.
A good agent will have list of qualified inspectors who can determine what we cannot as far as condition, soundness, and needed repairs.
Send me a message if you'd like some more information!
Thanks,
Cecelia

It's obviously a transient neighborhood and must be starter homes. I'd be a little wary. People who don't plan to stay long may not have a vested interest in maintaining a home and may not have kept it up.

It may be a neighborhood where people are getting started, and then are ready to move up after a few years. It may be bad luck. It may be a neighborhood problem (too much noise, poor schools, long commute to employment centers).
I'd ask a local realtor or two.
Isn't the national average for moving every five years?

The first guess is that it's a starter home and basic. Also if it had say 4 bedrooms and one bath they could be wishing for another bathroom. A flunctuating local job market, hard to deal with hoa, major defects that no one has felt like putting money into. What if the buyers themselves were qualifying under the old loose lending terms and when their interest rate started skyrocketing they packed up? Ask a local realtor or someone selling their home there. best of luck to you.
What does it shows if a house is not owned for long by one owner? if a house is sold EVERY 3 YEARS
