Do you regret the size of home you bought?

Big house unte full get to gathers and weekend parties 

I like big homes with minimum 4 or 5 bed rooms with 4 full bath

I think abt 2500+ sqft is a good enough big home. more is always good but will cost proportionally higher to maintain

I think 2000 sft is decent enough for small family.

PROS OF A BIGGER HOME

• Dedicated Spaces, not Dual-Use — If you work from home (which is becoming more common after a year of “covid commuting”), you may need an in-home office. If you host out-of-town guests frequently or dinner parties, a guest bedroom or dining room might be a necessity. As you house hunt, determining the intent of a flex space or spare bedroom will help you name your needs versus wants.
• Hosting and Flow — When hosting large group gatherings, a bigger house often provides plenty of space for your guests, depending on the layout of the home. Having a large family is also a determining factor in house size.
• Room Size and Storage — Bigger homes can often provide similar floorplans to houses with a smaller footprint, but with rooms more generous in size or boasting extra storage. If you desire an owner’s suite with his-and-hers closets or space for a reading nook, for example, larger homes frequently boast the needed space for these extra perks.

CONS OF A BIGGER HOME

• Affordability and Upkeep — Beyond a larger mortgage, bigger homes mean higher utility bills, more expenses to furnish the home, and more maintenance costs. Consider all factors of a home’s costs – including upkeep and your long-term financial goals, advises experts at Moving.com. Not all costs are evident right away, so the time and financial commitments of a larger home need consideration.
• Usable Space — If having a more spacious home means rooms are going to sit empty for much of the year, then it’s wise to evaluate if you need that extra square footage. “When attending showings at larger homes, instead of just asking if you can see yourself living there, ask what exactly you’ll utilize each of those rooms for,” writes Laura Meuller. “And as a general rule, never buy more space than you can actually use.”
• Disjointed and Disconnected — The Simple Economist warns of the isolation that may result from a larger home. Game rooms, basements, and other spaces may discourage family connection as everyone heads to their own corner of the house. Consider how you want your family to interact and find a house that facilitates that well.
• Location — Sacrificing a convenient and desirable location for a larger home in a less-sought-after area may end up being a regrettable choice. Besides budget, location is a top determination in purchasing a home. Make sure you’re factoring in your commute, local schools, resale value, and lifestyle (travel accessibility, restaurants, etc.), which are all tied to location.
