Residences are most often described, and evaluated, by the number of square feet with the quantity determining the value.

While the number of square feet is a big factor in its value, there are other aspects which should be seriously considered.

How much of said space is really usable, or will actually be used, by occupants?

What is the quality of construction of all spaces?

What is the aesthetic level of all spaces?

What is the layout of the spaces for function, convenience, and practicality?

What is the daily, monthly, and year-to-year cleaning needed for these spaces?

What are the short and long term requirements for replacements and upkeep on the property?

What is the life-time of the residence?

How adaptable to the different seasons is it?

How will different personality traits react to living in these spaces?

What is the intelligent and emotional character of the residence?

What are the most important financial, practical, uses, and ambiance aspects to the purchaser?

What are the survival aspects of this structure to natural disasters such as fires, floods, storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, et cetera?

What will be the state of being, and what changes may occur, for this property after future decades?

What to, and how, do you respond when analyzing and evaluating, residential properties?

How many of these aspects did you consider for where you live?

Food for thought.
