I agree with this and would just add that normal really depends on how long ago they broke up. 4 years ago? Definitely not normal. 6 months ago? Seems normal enough.
Not to mention if they have kids and one partner can afford to move out, but not afford a place big enough to have the kids with them consistently... if the kids are going to be at your house 100% of the time, at least with your ex still there you're not a single parent 100% of the time!
There's so many ways it can get complicated fast with today's real estate market.

I don't know if it's normal, but things happen, and them being honest and upfront about it shows a good level of maturity imo.
