How the Price Per Square Foot Calculator Works
Price per square foot divides a property’s price by its floor area, giving a single figure that lets you compare homes of different sizes on a level footing. Divide the price by the square footage and you have it. It’s the quickest way to gauge whether a listing is priced in line with comparable homes in the area.
It’s a useful yardstick but not the whole story — condition, lot size, location, upgrades and layout all move value beyond raw square footage. Compare like with like within the same neighbourhood.
price per sq ft = price ÷ square footage
