Why Price-Per-Square-Foot Still Matters – And When It Doesn’t

January 6, 2026

Price-per-square-foot is a starting reference, not a valuation tool.

It matters when:

  • Comparing similar units in the same building
  • Evaluating liquidity risk

It stops mattering when:

  • Views, outdoor space, ceiling height, or layout materially change livability

Sophisticated buyers adjust for nuance. Unsophisticated pricing ignores it.
