Frequently Asked Questions

Tips & Common Mistakes
Tips
- Ensure the area includes only the livable or rentable square footage, not the entire lot size.
- Use the same measurement basis (e.g., gross vs. net area) when comparing properties.
- For accurate comparisons, use recent sales data from similar properties in the same neighborhood.
- Remember that price per square foot is a rough indicator; other factors like condition and location matter.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Including the entire lot size instead of just the building's floor area.
- Mixing units, such as using meters for area while entering price in dollars.
- Comparing properties with different inclusions (e.g., one includes garage, the other doesn't).
