If my neighborhood is representative of the bigger picture, there are a whole lot of widows and empty-nesters living in 2000+ square feet homes. Out of the seven homes near me, two have been inhabited by widows for the last few years. Only two houses have more that two occupants. One of the widows finally sold a few months ago. The other I suspect is concerned that her adult son and grandchild might move back in someday. Otherwise, I can’t understand why she wants to live in a 2800 square feet house by herself. Maybe people just have a hard time moving on to the next stage of their lives until they are forced to.
