Why Are Home Measurement Appraisals Important?

1. Accurate Calculations for Price/Square Foot

The last thing any seller wants is for their home to have a much higher price per square foot than other homes on the market. Many buyers shop for homes based on square footage, and realtors often focus on calculating the price per square foot for their clients. An inaccurate GLA will, therefore, throw off a home’s price and market value.

1. Better Marketing

Staying competitive in the real estate market is another reason to invest in home measurement services. Since realtors pull data on comparable homes that have recently sold in the area, a high price per square footage can hurt a home’s sales chances, even when no comparable homes are currently on the market.

1.  Industry Ethics

While GLA measurements are important for marketing purposes, they are also vital for aligning with the ethics of the real estate industry. Realtors are ethically bound to advertise homes with integrity. Advertising an inaccurate GLA — or one that has not been verified by a home measurement appraisal — is risky. No realtor wants to be liable for GLA figures that don’t match public records.
