Gathering Unit Information:
~Inside the home
Realtor.com is a popular real estate website that provides information about homes for sale, rent, and other real estate-related data. While Realtor.com typically provides a range of information about properties, including their specifications, it may not always have all the information available. However, here are some general steps you can take on Realtor.com to find information about your property, including its interior square footage:
​
-
Search for the Property:
-
Visit the Realtor.com website.
-
Use the search bar to enter the address or location of the property you're interested in.
-
-
View Property Details:
-
Click on the specific listing you are interested in to view more details.
-
-
Check Listing Details:
-
Look for the section of the listing that provides details about the property.
-
Information about the property's specifications, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage, may be available.
-
-
Explore Additional Resources
Remember that the availability of information may vary from listing to listing, and not all properties may have detailed specifications like interior square footage listed on the website. If Realtor.com doesn't have the information you need, you may also consider checking with other sources, such as the local tax assessor's office or property records, for more detailed property information.
