The average size of newly built single-family homes in the United States has stabilized in recent years after decades of steady growth. As of mid-2025, new homes average about 2,364 square feet, with a median size of around 2,125 square feet, according to U.S. Census and National Association of Home Builders data. This marks a slight decline from the mid-2010s, when new homes peaked near 2,500 square feet, reflecting shifting buyer preferences toward smaller, more affordable, and energy-efficient spaces.
