When I was renting I had a stamp "Return to sender. Addressee not known at this address"

I do similar. Cross the name out with a Sharpie and write "MOVED".

After owning the place for two years now I just throw it out.

Just so you know, throwing mail away that isn't yours is a federal crime.

I did that for a couple years, and now I still get junk from the previous owner. I've been here 10 years...

Then again, now I get invitations to retirement stuff, so I guess that's cool (I'm nowhere near retirement, but the previous owner was about that age).

Yeah it took some 15 years for the letters for the people who lived in my house before me to stop

Yeah, I mostly just toss them now, but if I get a bunch all at once, I'll take a couple minutes to annoy the mail carrier with some "Not at this address" markings.
