Understand the metric

01

What this metric means

Price per square foot divides a property's price by its building area, putting properties of different sizes on a common scale.

02

Why it matters

$/SF can help compare properties but should not be treated as a complete valuation method. Income, leases, tenants, condition, location, property type, and other characteristics all matter.

03

How it is calculated

  • Price / SF = Property price ÷ Building SF
  • Estimated price = Price / SF × Building SF

04
