My first home was 2br 1.5ba, 800 sqft, and was a perfect starter. It would have easily accommodated a family of 3, maybe 4 if the kids shared a bedroom. It's more space than most people realize if it's properly utilized. I'd gladly downsize to a home of that size again.

That's pretty much my place right now. It's just the two of us and the cats, so it's plenty. Oh, and the motorcycles.

...My garage honestly has comparable square footage to the footprint of my house. Priorities.

that's the dream right there. 500 sq.ft. house, 1000sq.ft. garage

I miss my garage. I moved to the city for a better job and left behind a nice plot of land with a garden and a big garage. I'm in a condo now, just a basic apartment really, and it only has street parking. I hope I can someday find a home in this area that is a carbon copy of my starter home.
