Actually, we are saying the opposite. The number of rooms in the average hew built US house has not gone up (well, not as fast as the m^2). The rooms have gotten bigger faster than the number of rooms have increased.
That's what happens up north here too. But then, we're not as space starved as they are in the west of the country. That's where you'll get less and less for more money...


For what we paid here, you can get in Amsterdam (buy) an appartment with about 65 m2 (average) floor size, with 2 - 3 rooms. I think we've about 250 m2.

Was that a rhetorical question from pshrynk and no mention of $300? I thought everything was open on Sundays.

I have a (very slightly) below average house (ahem!) but the problem is that I want to move to a small 2-bedroom single level house in a few years and they simply don't make those any more. They are all multi-room mansions because those are the houses that developers can make the most money on. So everyone buys them. With mortgages they can't pay. Then the banks fail, car companies close, and we're all out on the street selling tricycles and shrimp by the road (that's the Houston tradition). And all just cuz I can't buy a small house!!! (wait, what thread is this again?)

Sure you're not talking about California?

VR, I learned a long time ago that smaller wasn't cheaper. You're best hope is a snobby neighborhood's poorer district, especially if it's full of senior citizens, the way things are today, teardowns can't get financing, so you might be able to get a deal.

The best time to buy is when nobody can sell anything. Assuming you have a lot of money to start with.... (I'm only a first cousin to a shark, honest!)

I moved to a much much smaller place about 6 mo ago. Itʻs still big enough for a sofa and a few armchairs and beds in each bedroom and a recycling bin though. Itʻs just small compared to all the McMansions I see around.

I thought it was "swing a dead cat". I'm not dumb enough to grab a live cat by the tail and try to swing it. The doctor's bill would be horrendous. And you thought Ginsu knives were sharp
