Trulia found the top homeowner regret was not choosing the correct home size (42 percent), including a third of homeowners who wished they’d bought a larger home. Even among wealthy Americans earning $100,000 or more, 16 percent regretted not buying a larger home.

Home size has been a common gripe over the years, especially as housing gets more expensive and people have to settle for smaller spaces, said David Weidner, managing editor for Trulia’s housing economics research team.

“It’s probably not something that has just dawned on people after they’ve been in their home a few years,” he said. “I think many people faced with higher mortgages and higher rents are having to settle for less when it comes to space.”
