How big is the livable area of your house (that is, how big is your house, excluding uninhabitable basements, etc.)? And how many bedrooms / baths does it contain?
Ours is right around 1,400 sf. 4 br, 1.5 ba. Not sure why people with less than 3 or 4 kids live in anything larger than 2,500 sf.

Believe it or not, by some industry standards anything under 2500 is considered "small".
I can see needing up to 3500 if you have 4 kids, but for just a family of 4 2000 is plenty
I'm willing to wager that I probably have the smallest livable space @ around ~204 square feet!
Of that, about 30 square feet is an unusable entryway and I would estimate an additional 40 square feet is the bathroom...
Do I win a prize! LOL
I always joke, that when I move into a bigger place (probably next year) at a whopping 700 square feet, I honestly won't know what to do with all of the room.
2094 sq ft. We have no basement; our house is on a slab. Just 3 live here; my wife and daughter and myself. It is the stuff we have collected that we couldn't crowd in a smaller home. I would like to get rid of a lot of it. I'm starting to think that my wife is agreeing with me.
All that is really needed is 2 or 3 bedrooms for a small family like mine, 1 bath, living room, kitchen with eating area. It would work. Anything more would be unnecessary; just nice to have. Really don't need a big yard. Matching your true needs and not your ego to the right size home would be green in many many ways!
We moved from a 2,800 sq ft home to a 19,000 sq ft home. Our children have all grown and moved so it is now only the two of us and we have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths which is plenty for us. It's much easier to keep up and more fun to decorate as there is so much less room.....We also have a 2,400 sq ft garage/shop we had built here so that helps a lot with the storage!

19,000 square feet? Wow, that's a lot of house to keep clean for only 2 people.

i would have to guess than you meant 1900 SF
our house is just a smidge under 2000 SF, single story. its just me and my wife and we're in our mid 20s...... perfect size for us!!! 3 bedroom 2 baths...so we each have our own offices in our house. one office doubles as a guest bedroom.
