When comparing one house to another, the statistic that’s often used is price per square foot. Unfortunately, using price per square foot doesn’t paint an adequate picture when comparing houses. It can often be misleading and doesn’t take other factors into consideration. You can’t make generalizations like that when comparing unique houses.
If you are buying or selling a house and are looking to hire a successful real estate agent to help you through the process, take a look at AgentHarvest's list of top-ranking local Realtors in your area. We found these agents by examining their sales track records, awards, rankings, client testimonials and by conducting personal interviews.
