The two sentences are similar but not identical.
To say:
means that they are still living here.
To say:
indicates that they are still living here but I can imagine a situation when a friend/relative uses the latter construction to talk about a couple who have just died or recently moved away.
However, this is a subtle nuance that may not find support with others.
