If you ever talk real estate, you will undoubtedly hear your friends flaunt their amateur knowledge using the “price per square foot” metric. This term is one of the most overused and inaccurate ways to value a property, especially in the Camelback Corridor. As a professional, we reserve the price per foot talk to New York brokers selling apartments that are like for like without the need to adjust for lot size, location, and other important factors that affect true value. For an easy example of how price per foot could lose you a couple million bucks, here are the specs of two homes that sold last year in Arcadia Proper: To the novice real estate broker or neighbor, these homes look very similar on paper. Both of these homes are newer construction with similar square feet and lot size. So why did one sell for $1,081 per square foot and the other for $790 per square foot? This is precisely why not all square feet are created equal. The uninformed consumer doing their per square foot math on a napkin could have easily left a couple million bucks on the table when selling 6235 E Montecito. The difference lies in the details that price per foot math doesn’t detect. 4615 N Royal Palm had a few different factors that could have affected its sale price including two story elevation, east/west orientation, very formal floor plan layout, and its proximity to Camelback Rd. All of these nuances on top of just pure emotional appeal will ultimately determine a sales price. In the Camelback Corridor in particular we have an eclectic mix of homes that vary greatly from one to the next. Not only are lot sizes generally irregular but orientations, views, floor plans, easements, and other details are rarely the same. To truly value a home you will need to use comparable sales and then make price adjustments for those certain characteristics that could affect price. So let’s leave all the price per foot talk to the keyboard warriors and amateur brokers. For a free market evaluation based on real sales and real knowledge I’m always around.
