If you\u2019re a homeowner with a smaller-scale house, now may be a great time to sell, as the demand for this end of the market is surely on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand for smaller houses will continue to rise throughout 2020.
