Size Really Does Matter
There are times in life when size definitely matters. Angie’s List, an internet-based consumer rating service, reports the following about responses to a recent survey of their users:
47% of Angie’s List respondents said their home is less than 2,000 square feet
7% reported that their home is more than 4,000 square feet
63% believe their home is just the right size
62% want to downsize in order to have time for things other than their home. Other reasons for wanting to downsize include high utility costs (53%), an empty nest (50%), and wasted space (49%).
Angie also reports that since 1950 the average home in America has more than doubled in size, measuring about 2,434 today. .

From my experience, I have found that the homes I have enjoyed have changed as I have. When I was just married, a two bedroom home was a perfect starter home. Now with two kids and a full time job, I like having my four bedroom house. The kids have plenty of space and I have the home office I need to stay organized.
With the rising cost of power bills and putting gas in my car, I am currently looking for a modest size house for my first home. Being a single female, my first priority is founding a place in a good neighborhood and close to work. Size is secondary to those factors.
