My wife and I are going down this path right in the Kansas City area and hardly any contractor will give us the time of day because we want to build a 2,000-2,200 sq. ft. home (4 bed, 2 bath). We want nice fixtures and are willing to pay for it, but all the contractors around here build 3,500-5,000 sq.ft. homes and we're not interested in that. To build something small would require them to charge basically they're charging to build a nice 3,500 sq.ft. home ($300-500K to build) because of the margins. It's really crazy and frustrating.

If someone wanted to start a new home building business, I'm sure they'd make a killing by specializing in smaller, 1500-2500 sq.ft. homes because that's where it's going, especially as the younger generations get homes. They aren't interested in all the wasted space and excess rooms you need to fill with crap.
