In fact, 53 percent of these buyers are aiming for a home over 7,500 square feet, and 23 percent desire a staggering 20,000 square feet. These numbers can be attributed to the fact that these young consumers are looking to accommodate their growing families and wanting to lay down the foundation for their future generations to prosper under the same roof.
