Most Popular “Average-Sized” Homes on Zillow’s Dueling Digs
I recently wrote a post about the average-sized U.S. home from our Q1 Home Value Reports. As I noted in that post, the “average” U.S. home is 1,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. With these dimensions in mind, I dove into Dueling Digs to look at average-sized homes, sorting through homes for each of the 6 categories (kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces, exteriors, and yards & gardens) that were between 1,201 and 1,900 square feet. What did I find? Very impressive homes that, although average in size, are far from average in appearance. Take a look:
Most popular average-sized exterior — Located at 1329 N Genesee Ave, Los Angeles, CA, this home has 1,680 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, fitting the bill for an average-sized home. But, recently sold for more than $1.3 million, it is significantly above the Zindex for the average home across the U.S., which is a mere $190,000.
Most popular average-sized living space — This home at 250 Geoffroy Dr, Santa Cruz, CA, comes in just under 1,900 square feet, which is a bit larger than the “average” home and the Zestimate reflects that, coming in at just $1.5 million.
Most popular average-sized kitchen — The kitchen in this home at 4307 Babcock Ave, Studio City, CA, seems everything but “average.” Check out the stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and hardwood floors.
Most popular average-sized bedroom — This home at 883 Acapulco St, Laguna Beach, CA, recently sold for just under $1 million, again proving “average” is anything but.
Most popular average-sized bathroom — And who knew funky bathrooms were in? This Seattle powder room located at 1024 E Pike St, Seattle, WA, is in a condo building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Most popular average-sized yard — And last but not least, the yard of this home, located at 6 Linda Vista Ave, Belvedere Tiburon, CA, is the kicker. Can you imagine if the “average” person was able to wake up to this Belvedere-Tiburon, CA, view every morning?
