Families across the country are demanding bigger and bigger homes, undaunted by the prospect of fillings rooms with furniture and generations of soon-to-be-born dust bunnies.
In 2013 the median floor area of new single-family homes sold in the U.S. rose 4% to hit almost 2,500 square feet, according to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
That compares to the median 1,700-square-foot size of a single detached and manufactured home, as reported in the 2011 American Housing Survey.
The biggest new single-family homes of all were sold in the South, hitting a median of 2,534 square feet in 2013, up 1% from the prior year. Homes in the Northeast reached 2,456 square feet, up 3%. Homes in the Midwest measured 2,405 square feet, up 9% from 2012, and homes in the West hit 2,394 square feet, up 5%.
War übrigens auf Schiffsreise von Savona nach Hamburg mit der Costa Mediteranea mit viel Musik. Erfreulich, wenn bei der Rückkehr viele Titel höher stehen :-)
