how many live in the household
One way to look at it is to consider how many people are living with you in the household, and how big of a place you are coming from. We have just my husband and I living in a 3-BR CYV, and we knew we needed the 3rd bedroom as a den/office or t.v. room.....or as a place to retreat to our own corners, after coming from a much bigger home up north.
Also, consider whether you've been in the house a lot with spouse or whomever, before retiring or moving here to work. Some couples realized after buying a 2-BR that they were not used to being in the house with their spouse/partner, because of differing work schedules before this. Usually people need their own space to which they can retreat. It does help that here in TV, you're outside a lot and not in the house as much as before (in cold states).
