Everything—including housing—is bigger in Texas

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Three Lone Star State cities have some of the largest homes in the nation, according to a new report from LendingTree.com.

Houston has the biggest houses in the country—averaging 1,952 sf. Dallas ranked fourth with an average size 1,862 sf, and Austin ranked fifth with 1,861 sf.

Home construction during the last decade has trended toward larger houses, and since Texas is the leader in U.S. home production, its median home sizes tend to be larger.

LendingTree looked at home sizes in 45 major U.S. markets for the comparison.

The rest of the top ten are: No. 3 Washington; No. 6 Las Vegas; No. 7 Phoenix; No. 8 Raleigh, N.C.; No. 9 Boston; and No. 10 Orlando, Fla.
