Big Houses

So, I was sitting here at the computer, writing about the house, and getting curious to know how big houses are these days on average. I couldn't find anything very up to date, but I found this link to an NPR story back in 2006:  Behind the Ever-Expanding American Dream House. The best part is the following quote:


"I always wanted a house big enough that my kids could be in their room screaming, and my wife could be in a room screaming, and I could be somewhere else and not hear any of them," he says. "And I think I have accomplished this with this house, because this house is so big that everyone has their own space."

Anyhow, the number they gave was 2,349 square feet- that's the average new house built in 2004.
