UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Square Footage for Condos, But Not Houses?

UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Square Footage for Condos, But Not Houses?: Figure 1

In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who is in the market for a new home wonders why condo listings usually provide square footage, but listings for single-family homes in the District do not.

In my search for a new home in DC, I have found it frustrating that listings for condos usually provide the interior square footage, but that same information is rarely, if ever, provided for single-family homes. I know that this is not the sole criteria on which I should give the thumbs up or thumbs down to a property, but I have wondered why this information is not provided.
