Are Smaller Houses Becoming More Popular in Phoenix?

The houses of the future will be smaller. 60% of buyers surveyed by the National Association of Home Builders would prefer to have a smaller house but with more features.
So far this does not seem to be a trend in Phoenix as the average home square footage has been steadily growing. It was 1700 median square feet in early 2007 and its 1800 in 2008.
There are more people looking for quality vs. quantity, a good layout vs many rooms and access to entertainment without having to drive too much.
I hope this trends comes into its own. The building of smaller more efficient homes would use less energy and be easier to maintain not to mention less material to build.
Often is more about layout, use of space and quality of space then quantity of space that determines the quality of life in a house of apartment.
