I’ve heard mixed research on whether or not people are interested in smaller houses or larger houses. One thing is clear, the super-sized mansion is not on most buyer’s radar.
I did discover an interesting study that says, “The total number single family homes in the residential building stock in the United States will shrink by four billion square feet in nine years , according to a new study by a subsidiary of Navigant Research. But, the shrinkage is not because buyers want smaller homes. It’s because more people are moving into the cities.
