What people are waking up to now: Bigger home == more money in upkeep, utilities, etc. Bigger home == Bigger mortgage, which means you're locked in longer, and you've got a bigger debt load. Bigger home == Further away from the urban areas (Generally), which means you're commuting by car, which means more gas money, and longer times spent in cars rather than with family.

There's a reason millennials are eschewing their cars, the big house filled with stuff, and many of the trappings of the boomers. Living small is the new direction we're moving in.
Well here is hoping that you are right. We are averaging about 2 visits a week from real estate agents and their customers. That is really a pain in the ass because we have to clean up the house, load up the dogs in the car and go disappear for an hour. Can't wait until this place sells.
