    What do you mean by small and I think context of where you live matters.

    Around me there are an abundance of 0.75k-1.5k sqft homes, typically they are older (1940-1980), and they are between $180-250k. They aren’t in high demand because they are older, they may need some TLC, they have old styles, they are 45 min - 1 hour drive from the big city, and they may not be as big as people want.

    I have coworkers who lament not being able to buy a house, but when you talk to them they are looking at 2500+ sqft, less than 10 years old, 20 min from downtown, but $425k.

    EDIT: After typing this I opened Zillow and within 30 seconds found a house across town that’s 980 sqft, $115k, 1950’s, but you’re gonna have a 45 minute (minimum) commute every day unless you leave for work at 5 am.

    EDIT 2: Oh and 0.34 acres with no HOA
