Homes here tend to be about that size unless they’re older than about 1980. We also have a lot of absolutely massive mansions built out in the middle of absolutely nowhere that’ll drive that number up quite a bit. If you’re willing to drive 30 minutes to the grocery, you can get a 5000+sqft house for well under $500k. I have a buddy who just bought a 5200sqft place on 8 acres for about $450k. If you really want to live somewhere undesirable like the place my parents moved to a few years ago, their whole subdivision has a few dozen houses all over 7000sqft, and they sold for about $400k
I sincerely wouldn’t want that much space to maintain. We’re a family of 4 with multiple pets and we’ve got rooms we don’t go into. If we had twice the space to clean or heat I’d have no use for them at all. I’ve already got a home gym, 2 home offices, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, den that’s a library and a living room we don’t even furnish so the kids can use it as a gymnasium. I don’t even want this much space LoL. Too expensive to furnish. What’s the point.

Probably being driven up by the huge number of McMansions in the US, plus most of the ‘smaller’ places are apartments/condos, so wouldn’t be counted.

The median is 2,273 sqft (oddly specific lol) as of 2021. In case anyone else is curious lol.
