Living in a bigger home

To many people, "bigger is better," especially when it comes to home buying. According to the study, to feel successful, the typical American said they want a house twice the value of their current home. With the average price of a home being around $203,000, that means respondents are looking for homes priced at more than $400,000. In some states, prices are even higher. Respondents from Illinois, Ohio and Michigan said they wanted a home that was nearly 2.8 times the value of their current one.
