I think downsizing is a great way to save money and simplify your life. Wife and I live in a 975 sf house (allthough if you include our finished basement it is closer to 1500 sf) and I love the low taxes and energy bills and I also would not want to clean a bigger house. Allthough I like others wish the yard was smaller.
As for bigger houses not selling well and the economy worsening you may indeed be correct allthough I'm not betting on it.
