What Is Price Per Square Foot?

Price per square foot is a property's price divided by its total livable square footage, used to compare properties of different sizes within the same market.

Formula

Price Per Sq Ft = Sale Price ÷ Livable Square Footage

Why It Matters

It should be weighed alongside condition, lot size, and location rather than used alone to judge value.
