Take care of important details – does that lot really have 0 acres?

By
Real Estate Agent

There are many details to take care of when you are listing a house for sale and providing all the information about a property that buyers may find important is critical. You may not think that calculating acreage for a property with less than an acre is important, but many buyers are looking for a large lot and they think in terms of acres.

A home with .25 acres gives the buyer the idea that the home probably has a decent yard and isn't right on top of the neighbors. This can be a strong differentiator between and the reason a home gets shown ... or not. 

Partial acreage is easy to calculate. Multiply length of lot by width of lot and divide the result by 43,560.  OR, use this handy online calculator:

Nice post Colleen. It's funny, but I have always been able to remember 43,560 from the real estate course 17 years ago....
