The average single-family home built today is 2,657 square feet, more than twice the average single-family home built in 1920. To determine how homes have changed over the past century, 24/7 Wall St. estimated the size of a newly constructed single-family house between 1920 and 2014.
Design a home smaller than the current average size of 2,400 square feet. 1  The average home size was 1,400 square feet in 1970. At the same time, the average household size has declined from 3.1 people in 1970 to 2.6 today. At a cost of $100 per square feet, the average size home will cost $233,000. Reduce that size by just 500 square feet and youâve saved $50,000! Advanced wall framing where stud spacing is increased from 16 inches on center to 24 inches on center reduces the number of studs required by 1/3.
