The size of new homes is ballooning - Yahoo Finance

The size of new homes is ballooning - Yahoo Finance: "Families across the country are demanding bigger and bigger homes, undaunted by the prospect of fillings rooms with furniture and generations of soon-to-be-born dust bunnies.

In 2013 the median floor area of new single-family homes sold in the U.S. rose 4% to hit almost 2,500 square feet, according to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

That compares to the median 1,700-square-foot size of a single detached and manufactured home, as reported in the 2011 American Housing Survey."
