Here is the home of 2015, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). These homes are expected to decrease in size; current homes are averaging around 2400 square ft, and these homes will average around 2150 square ft. Even if the real estate market jumps up, future homes will decrease in size and also lose the living room, but instead gain a great room (which combines the family and living room). With keeping the house smaller, builders are able to have more creative freedom and cater to what home owners really want. We can expect to see larger laundry rooms, larger master suite closets, eat in kitchens and more ceiling fans.
Overall, I think downsizing the house is a good idea because there is so much wasted square footage when you get up to the 3,000 and up sq ft. house. Also making the houses much more affordable is key in a slumping economy.
