Well, if you were to do a national consumer survey (which we did), only 6% of Americans would actually say that their ideal home size is bigger than 3,200 sqft. Given this, you would expect smaller homes to be more popular than bigger homes on Trulia.com - surprisingly, this wasn’t the case. Super-sized homes actually got 27% of all the eyeballs looking for homes on Trulia (more than any other sized home). Say what?!? That’s right - U.S. house hunters still love to look at ginormous real estate eye-candy.
Knowing this, we decided to close out the year with a little belated holiday gift. Below we’ve compiled a list of the most colossal estates for sale based on square footage. For most of you, this will be eye candy, but for the head honcho buyers among you, here are few homes to consider if you want to live large in 2012. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
