What is the heated square footage?

Currently a SFR of similar square footage in that area sells for $200-$250k. 

What was the square footage of your counter space?

Reno is flooded with short sales, preforeclosures, and foreclosures, but when I look up comparables on the MLS or Zillow with similar bed/bath and square footage in the neighborhood, they're sometimes all over the map.

Okay, it is priced at market value...did the comps for the area and have sold another property very similiar...just 4 blocks away...another house exactly the same all the way down to the same brick and square footage has already sold....houses in that area are on market about 42 days...this one 78 and counting....the market in our area has turned soft ...about 1 12/ ago...but prices stay steady....we are willing to negotiate down but not until we get an offer...do not want to rent to own....owners have purchased a new home soon to be completed.....and yes, I did a comp sheet...present it with my CMA package...Have put house on tours, open house coming up....what next

I was thinking I could perhaps dig out the basement to add footage.

Decrease of the importance of square footage: As we know,square footage is one of the most important factors to consider when buying or selling a home but the trend for the next year is to decrease the importance of square footage.9.

And only gave me a 5k bump for the square footage and a 5k bump for the bathroom.

Just watching my target areas and seeing what is available for rent on Zillow or Craigslist seems to show rents at about $0.8 to 1.0 x the square footage per month for a nice, but not fancy SFH.

My assumption is that he saw a lot of square footage at a low price, and jumped in.
