#2I love the dataset, but this has to be one of the worst visualizations I've seen: it takes way too long to scroll through the whole list and the differences in the size of the rendered houses is essentially meaningless to the average observer.

#3Another case of a "creative visualization" that should have been a table.

Also where deciles would be helpful to understand the distribution.

#5I don't have kids so maybe that's a part of it, but anything over 1500-1600 sq ft. feels too large and like a lot of maintenance to me.

I felt similarly, with a wife and a kid even. In a 2500 sqft house, I often got frustrated because I felt like I constantly couldn't find them.
1600 was fine. We're in about 2k now, and definitely wouldn't want to go any bigger.

#7They should probably normalize this for the age of the housing - older homes tend to be smaller

I'm in a 1950 sqft home and find it way too small (2 little kids with tiny rooms, one big open great room that combines dining room, living room and kitchen). I think layout makes a big difference too .. if you have multiple floors, you end up with wasted space. Also, basements and garages are not counted, and they make a big difference.
