5 Compact Homes for Sale at $1 Million

By Living Room Realty, October 22, 2019

Nationwide, $1 million buys about 2,192 square feet, which is 14% less than in 2014. The price only covers 2,090 square feet – a 24.5% drop – in Seattle, which came in fourth in the study among the 100 most populous cities. Top-tier homes in 8th place Vancouver, Washington are now 22.1% smaller.

The reason buyers are getting less square footage? High-income earners are willing to pay more for a luxury condo or house, and developers want to build on underused land with a small home, as analyzed by real estate database Zillow.

What’s the seven-figure scene in Portland now compared to 2014? Not as dramatic, according to the study.

Portland is 36th in that ranking. In 2014, $1 mission homes in Portland were 3,770 square feet. Now, they are 3,318 square feet – 12% smaller. Here’s 5 examples of what $1 Million can get you in Portland today.
