Home measurement questions
Why would my recorded square footage be wrong?
County assessor records in Arizona do not always reflect a property’s actual living area. Records can lag additions, conversions and remodels, and errors can sit uncorrected for years.
Can incorrect square footage affect my property taxes?
Yes. If your home’s square footage is overstated, you may be paying more in property taxes than you need to, and over time those overpayments can add up to thousands of dollars.
How does square footage affect selling my home?
Incorrect square footage leads to improper pricing, which causes a home to sit on the market longer. As the listing becomes stale, sellers often cut the price and buyers start to view the property as less desirable.
What do you actually measure?
We measure the property to establish its true living area, so that what is recorded matches what is there. The result gives you a documented figure for pricing, tax and listing purposes.
Do I need a full appraisal, or just a measurement?
They answer different questions. A measurement establishes accurate square footage; an appraisal establishes value. If your concern is specifically that the recorded area looks wrong, a measurement may be all you need.
Is a measurement useful before a remodel?
It is, because accurate existing square footage is the baseline any addition or conversion is measured against, and it is far easier to establish before work starts than afterwards.
