Since everyone is addressing the basement (and yes the area will sell for less per square foot than above grade and actually is not considered above grade square footage unless 3 of the 4 walls are exposed), I will talk about the attic.Attic square footage is calculated not from the outside walls but from the spot where the ceiling is 5' from the floor.Another consideration is that you should have a ratio of 1 bathroom for every 2 bedrooms in order to get the best market value.

Your agent may be 100% correct that the per-square-foot price that buyers would pay will be less for a 30 year old house than a 10 year old house.But, just because it's true in your area doesn't mean it's true in all areas.

Might start getting "spot elevations" by a surveyor at the corners of the improvements to avoid the issue if you are a foot or more higher than the 100 year flood plain mark.
