BIGGER Not Necessarily BETTER

Everywhere in Orange County, California and America single-family houses are getting BIGGER. Think back to the days when, according to the National Association of Home Builders, the average home size in the U.S. in 1950 was, believe it or not, less than 1000 square feet! Now it’s approaching 3000 square feet, thanks in no small part to houses at the higher end of the market, including  “McMansions”.

Not only are houses getting larger, everything inside them is getting bigger, too, from four or more bedrooms to furnishings and everything else that gives them a “wow” look including spacious foyers, huge staircases, three or four garages, gourmet kitchens, sun rooms, walk-in closets and enormous master bedroom suites, huge kitchens, media rooms and more. But I’m increasingly hearing from clients that “our house is too big” and “too much work to look after”.
