The average size of a single family home had been rising for 30 years.  The average size has risen from 1560 Square Feet in 1974 to 2248 Square Feet in 2007 according the US Census Bureau. 

But starting in the second quarter of last year the average size of new homes started falling and many experts predict more declines going forward.
