哎呀，既然要较真...

虽然人过世是一个重要原因， 但是，

An estate sale may also occur because the property owner will be moving or has moved into a new residence where he will be unable to keep his property, such as an assisted living facility, a retirement community, a rest home, or the home of a family member.

An estate sale may also take place because of divorce, foreclosure, or relocation.

凄凉离世是可以看出来的。 我一般买well kept的东西，可以 看出主人原来是爱惜的。你看房子的保养程度就可以看出主人日子过得好不好。
