This summer I went from 5k square feet down to 2.5k.
Advantages:
1: The wife, who used to love the big house, no longer complains about how much time goes into keeping it clean.
2: $1,000.00 per month less on the payment.
3: 1/3 of the electric and gas bills.
4: Way easier to maintain a regulated temperature.
Disadvantages:
1: Not as many locations to shoot content.
2: Not as much room for guests.
3: Moving 5k square feet worth of shit into a 2.5 square foot home isn't easy. I had some tough decisions to make....Like keeping the big ass special order dining room table and hutch that I used once a year or my pool table that I use almost daily.
Although this house has better character, I feel a little cramped and would love an additional 500 or so SF to make it seem not so tight.
