New homes will continue to get smaller, according to new survey

As home sizes shrink, hallways are on the chopping block.

That's according to a new report out this month from John Burns Research and Consulting, which looks at how the architecture of new housing stock in the U.S. is expected to shift in the coming years. 

Mikaela Arroyo, one of the researchers, said that based on the types of homes architects said they are designing, consumers can expect homes to continue to get smaller and their layouts more compact. That's on par with findings from other surveys the consulting firm has conducted in recent years.
