We are now seeing request for double stud walls. It used to be just standard 2x6 construction.
For the upper middle, we are seeing things cost more than they expect. And that creates the downsizing effect.

I guess it depends on what your definition of large is? They may be down sizing from 7 and 8 thousand Sq Ft to 5 and 6 thousand Sq Ft, but that's still large by most people's standards.
They aren't tearing down those McMansions to build smaller homes unless they can sub-divide the land and build more than one, doesn't make financial sense.
