Very much so. They'd love to see you go.
The home will be bought by someone with more money than the displaced owner/seller and they'll do higher-end shopping. Restaurants will benefit as will other retail establishments. The town will get increased revenue with fewer complaints from the new owners.
Of course that also has meant bigger and faster boats...Then a need to increase the size of the public docks.
