The return of McMansions. Hummer houses will relive their glory after a heavy decline during the 2008 economic recession. According to the latest government data, a newly built U.S. single family home is 2,505 square ft., which is about 50 percent larger than an average American home back in the 70s. Furthermore, typical new home buyers want residences that are 17 percent bigger than their current ones.
More rooms for families. Over 40 percent of the newly constructed home market have four bedrooms, providing more room for more relatives and kids moving back home.
