Shrinking Home Sizes in America

Americans are embracing smaller homes due to high mortgage rates and rising home prices. Builders are making homes more affordable by shrinking the size of new single-family homes, which appeals to cost-constrained buyers. Smaller homes help boost the bottom line for builders dealing with increasing labor and construction costs. The trend is particularly noticeable in markets like Seattle, where new homes are 18% smaller than five years ago. Dining areas, bathtubs, and separate living rooms are being eliminated to create more efficient living spaces.
