For that unique reason, everyone tends to measure square footage a bit differently. Because established measurement standards are not in place, it is all too easy to measure square footage incorrectly, which has happened countless times. This is what makes measuring the square footage of a house tricky in some ways. Square footage guidelines also tend to vary from state to state. Depending on where you live, you may be required to disclose square footage information, whereas other states are not required to do so.
In Raleigh and Charlotte , the square footage of a home must be disclosed as accurately as possible. When buying a home you love, it may not matter to you if the house is 2, square feet or 2, square feet. If you prepare to sell the home several years after purchasing it, you may list it for a price that is in line with homes that have sold for 2, square feet. When selling a home in Raleigh it's imperative that the square footage of the home be measured correctly or the sellers and Listing Agent will be on the hook.
However, if a buyer puts in an offer and finds out during the transaction process that the home is square feet less than what they were told, they may ask for a price reduction or to walk away from the deal altogether.
To calculate the square feet of a room that is rectangular or square, simply multiply the length of the room by the width. So, if a room is 10 feet long and 12 feet wide, simply multiply 10 by 12 to get square feet. If the room has alcoves, measure those separately and add them to the overall square footage of the room.
If the square foot room has an alcove measuring 3 x 3, the room will be square feet in total. To measure total square feet of a house, complete this process in every room of the house. After measuring each room, add up the total. For example, if there are three rooms in your house measuring square feet, 80 square feet, and square feet, the total square footage of your home will be square feet.
To measure a room with closets, simply measure each closet separately by multiplying length by width. For example, if your closet measures 3 feet by 8 feet, your closet is 24 square feet in total. After measuring each closet, add the total square footage in each closet, plus the square footage of the room where the closets are.
While a national standard for measuring square footage is not currently in place, an organization called the American National Standards Institute ANSI provides guidelines on how to calculate square feet of a house, which many real estate agents and homeowners follow.
Many condominiums do not have square footage guidelines in place and do not always follow ANSI guidelines. When calculating square footage, real estate agents typically use a laser distance measurer, which is an electronic tool that is easier and less cumbersome to use than a measuring tape. To use the laser distance measurer, place the device on one wall and aim it at the wall directly across from it.
The device will then display the square footage on the screen. While less common, there are certain circumstances where buyers or renters are unable to tour the property in person and may buy or rent a home without visiting it first. Even if you have physically visited the home and completed measurements on your own, it is always a good idea to double-check square footage measurements to ensure your numbers are correct.
Some cities and counties have property records available online. If you are preparing to buy a property and are working with a real estate agent, your agent may be able to pull additional information on the property depending on the programs the agent has access to. For example, some agents pay for a tax record search service that provides information regarding the roof type, room count, square footage, and additional details.
The downside is: if you or your real estate agent obtain that information and the square footage is different than what you have, the tax assessor may have been wrong when the measurements were put in the record, or you may have missed or added some square footage without realizing it. The property may have also had improvements completed without a permit.
