Not where I live (Canada). The houses are obscenely big... and even more obscenely expensive! The only ones that come close to that size are in trailer parks.
That's not entirely true… especially not for all of Canada.
Small towns still have plenty of small homes.
Also, here in the Vancouver area there are quite a few Coach Houses and Laneway Homes that are typically one bedroom apartments above a detached car garage & small houses built in backyards, respectively. Then there's the "small home" movement that's gaining a following all over the place - although still very rare here, people are designing and building tiny homes that they can afford.. sometimes built out of shipping containers, other times just micro versions of detached homes w/ incredibly well engineered space utilization.
Still very few compared to other types of housing, but there are small homes here. Really old ones, trailer parks, coach houses, laneway homes, small/tiny homes.. etc. They exist, there just aren't that many yet.
It's mostly condos being built in the city & townhouses in the suburbs now, though.. densification is a big deal because property values are astronomically high here. A basic old house in the city is over a million dollars.. a nice one costs plenty more. So more and more people are cramming into small condos since they can't afford a detached house w/o a really really long commute.
