18/11/2018: The average floor size of an Australian home (houses and apartments) has fallen to a 22-year low. New data shows the average new home is 186.3 square metres, down 1.6 per cent over the past year and the smallest since 1996. The smaller home size reflects the increased building of apartments (around half of all new building is apartments). Mark Marfori just built a small 250sqm home at Willowdale in Sydney's south-west as it fit his budget and lifestyle. Hollie Adams/The Australian
