A Builder's Perspective: Deceptive Square Footage

When looking at attached homes in the 1,500 to 2,000 square foot bracket, you are dealing with smaller, highly efficient floor plans. My builder's perspective focuses heavily on how that square footage is distributed. In Colorado, real estate listings include the basement in the "Total Square Footage" metric. This means a 1,600 square foot townhome with a 600 square foot unfinished basement only has 1,000 square feet of actual, livable space above grade. I help buyers analyze these layouts to determine if there is enough functional space for their daily needs. Furthermore, I rigorously scrutinize the sub-HOA's maintenance history; in more affordable communities, deferred exterior maintenance can quickly lead to costly special assessments that wipe out a buyer's equity.
