Australian home buyers are starting to build smaller homes, after the Australian Bureau of Statistics found that new homes had reached 239 square meters on average in 2006-07. Many developers and builders are offering similarly sized homes. The Housing Industry Association says the economic downturn is one reason, however, some consultants point out that people are now more concernd about the neighbourhood they move to, not just the house.
