My inlaws are in the same boat, they have 4300 sqft for the 2 of them and they have an extra 4 bedrooms + a huge rec room that never get used for anything. They keep talking about downsizing and then showed us a listing for a place that's 1200sqft bigger

Again same boat, we've got 2300 sqft and with kids we're using all of it but before the kids we were probably only using about 1700 of it. My parents place is 1700 as well and it seems about perfect for 2 people + a guest room + a little extra rec space.
