You could search any paper that has addressed the issue and see what kind of data is used.

I am looking for a database that has longitudinal microdata for housing migration patterns.

Optimistically, the data would look something like:

In 2006, Person #2341 made $X, was Y years old, and lived in a Z year old house. In 2007, Person #2341 moved houses.

This way, I can see if we can use microdata to predict if a person is going to move within a year using his information currently via a logit regression.

The ACS database almost works, but it is ex post facto; it tells you the person moved a year ago (so I would be using a persons current information to predict if he moved LAST year; not what I want). I want to know if the person will move the following year, and theres no way to do this using ACS since it doesnt track the same person year to year.
