In many buyers’ minds, bigger is better, which is why they pay special attention to “square footage.” Sellers may want to appeal to buyers’ interest in this regard by adopting the meas- urement technique used by tax authorities. This typically involves measuring the home’s exterior dimen- sions and multiplying length times width. However, sellers and buyers alike should understand that this method does not take into account interior space lost to wall thickness, as well as largely unusable space lost to stairwells, utility rooms, closets, etc. Everyone’s interests are better served by taking a closer look at floor plans and how one livable interior space relates to another. This is best seen in a floor-plan drawing or video tour.

HINT: A small room with many windows can often seem more appealing than a larger space with none.
