Are houses too big, yeah. As someone who does HERS ratings, energy rating, and HVAC designs houses are built a lot bigger than needed. Its crazy to see houses that are 2,500+sf for only 2 beds.

However if boomers sell their houses they are going to be at inflated prices and then they can easily buy up starter home sizes from new homeowners. This does nothing to solve the issues of the housing crisis.

Houses have more than doubled in size over the past 60 years with the size of families declining.
