The new 1200sf entry level house is 2000sf. I've built quite a few of them. It is my understanding that builders are responding to the demand from home buyers, and people that can afford a (starter) home want 2000sf at minimum. Also the costs of a house dont scale linearly[1]. A small home costs almost as much as a 2000sf home.
