Frequently asked questions
- What does price per square foot tell you?
- It normalizes property prices by size so you can compare value across different homes. A $400,000 home at $200/sq ft is a better size value than one at $250/sq ft in the same area.
- Should I include the garage in square footage?
- Typically no. Standard practice is to use heated/cooled living area. Garages, unfinished basements, and porches are usually excluded from the official square footage number.
