‘American Dream Home’ growing again

housekeys

Nearly three in four Americans want a single-family, detached home in a country setting with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two out of five want more, a super-sized home with 2,000 to 3,000 square feet.

Who says housing is downsizing?

Not the 455 folks who answered Homes.com’s survey to determine the ideal home for the American family.

If only they had the confidence to buy and could afford it.

Dream on.

At the top of dream list for amenities were a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom; for specialty rooms it was a screened-in porch and a basement; for outdoor living they most wanted a deck and a swimming pool.

Homes.com’s infographic reveals more dreams, including desires for vacation home locations, neighborhood types, in-home amenities and a breakdown of the demographics of those surveyed.

See how you match up.
