Getting the price per square footage is a rather simple calculation. There are two variables that are required for it:
When you hit calculate you will get a dollar amount. That amount represents what you are essentially paying for each square footage of the house. Remember, square footage should include livable space of a house not the entire lot or other areas.
Finding the price per square foot of a property can be an important metric to know for making a decision. This tool makes it easier than ever to calculate that. The steps involved with using this tool include:
Let's say we are in the market for a new house and want to understand just how much we are paying per square footage of the house. The purchase price will be $450,000 and the house is a total of 2,150 square feet. We can use this tool to get our answer by entering 450,000 into the first field then 2,150 into the second one.
We can now hit calculate and get a price per square foot of $225. We can also convert this answer into other units such as square meter by choosing it from the dropdown menu. If we do the answer will automatically be converted to be $2,421.88 per square meter.
Price per sq ft does not take into account every factor that plays on the price of a house or its rent. So generally, there is no good price as every situation is different. For example, a prime location can demand much more than a house in a less desirable area as well as the size of the entire lot for the house. You must factor in all of these other variables when you get your answer to decide if the result is good for you and your current financial situation.
No, there is no possible chance of price per square foot even being close to zero, let alone negative.
Price per square foot strictly utilizes the square footage of the house and its purchase price or annual rent price. The square footage of the house must pertain to the livable sections of the house, not the entire lot size, or other factors.
