Better, not bigger, is the new mantra of contemporary
homes, according to Kleber & Associates Marketing and Communications.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median size of a newly completed
single-family home reached 2,248 sq. ft. in 2006 (up from 2,227 in 2005), yet
dropped to 2,241 sq. ft. by the second quarter of 2007, Kleber reported.
