	The average American home has grown nearly 40 percent since 1974, but square footage is only one measure of how our way of life has changed.SIZE MATTERS >In the past 30 years, the average single-family home grew from 1,695 square feet to 2,349, even as family size dropped from 3.1 people to 2.6.Northeasteners had the smallest homes in 1974, at 1,600 square feet, but now own the largest new homes, at 2543-a whopping 59 percent increase.A quarter of homes built in 1974 had four or more bedrooms; more than a third do today.On the West Coast today, one in three garages can hold at least three cars.In 1974, only half of all new homes had room for two.

If you are considering REO properties please keep in mind that fianancing has changed greatly over the last few years. Gone are the days of a good credit score and an easy loan. I can show you Hud or REO homes in the beginning end of the spectrum, as well as homes that qualify as luxury or executive estates. I've found that buying a home is the same for the first time buyer as it is for the seasoned professional with exception of confidence. When you are considering purchasing a home for the first time what is needed most is support. With most investors it is all about the numbers.
