Square footage is often one of the first features we evaluate about a home, but a higher number doesn’t always mean a more valuable home. In this video, our CEO and founder, Scott Gordon, discusses what you should keep in mind as you search for your next home. Some of the topics he covers:

• Price per square foot can vary a lot by neighborhood
• Paying attention to floor plan and functionality
• Real estate listings may or may not feature all livable square footage, but appraisals will make a distinction between “above grade” and below.
• Don’t just measure a home’s value by its square footage
