Smaller New Homes Offer High-Value, Efficient Living Spaces
The landscape of new single-family homes is definitely shifting. By 2025, the average size is expected to drop 11.6%, landing at 2,409 square feet—with homes under 1,800 square feet making up a quarter of all new sales. What really stands out, though, is the 71.9% jump in price per square foot, now averaging $171.95. For those of us who have watched Las Vegas grow and change, especially military families who need to maximize value and flexibility, these trends matter. My years serving both in the Air Force and in Vegas real estate have shown me how important it is to stay ahead of these market shifts and help clients navigate the options that fit their needs best.
