How it's calculated

price per ft² = total price ÷ area

area in ft². 1 m² = 10.7639 ft², so price per m² = price per ft² × 10.7639.

Common questions

How do I calculate price per square foot?

Divide the total price by the area in square feet. A $300,000 home of 2,000 sq ft works out to $150 per square foot.

Is a lower price per square foot always better?

Not always. Condition, location, and finish quality vary, so the cheaper price per square foot may reflect an older or smaller property.
