    HOME owners are trading up, spurred to take that plunge of a bigger financial committment by the work from home trend which has led to a surge in sales of large condos.

    These are defined as more than 1,200 square feet (sq ft) in size. The most popular large units are in the 1,200 - 1,400 sq ft size as these are more affordable compared to even bigger ones.
