Common Real Estate Area Units
Square Feet (sq ft)

Square Meters (m²)
The standard unit for measuring property size in most countries using the metric system. One square meter equals an area that is 1 meter by 1 meter. One square meter is approximately 10.764 square feet.
Acres
Used for measuring larger land parcels in the US and some other countries. One acre equals 43,560 square feet or about 4,047 square meters. For reference, a football field is about 1.32 acres.
Hectares (ha)
The metric equivalent of acres, used internationally for measuring large land areas. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters or about 2.47 acres. It's the area of a square with 100-meter sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert square feet to square meters?
To convert square feet to square meters, multiply the area in square feet by 0.0929. For example, 1,000 square feet equals 92.9 square meters. Our calculator performs this conversion automatically.
What's the difference between gross and net area?
Gross area includes the total area within the exterior walls of a building, including all rooms, corridors, and other spaces. Net area typically refers to the usable or livable space, excluding walls, stairwells, elevator shafts, and other non-usable areas. Different countries and markets may have varying definitions of these terms.
How accurate are the conversions?
Our conversions use standard mathematical formulas and are accurate to several decimal places. However, in real estate practice, measurements are often rounded to whole numbers or one decimal place, depending on the unit and local customs.
How do I calculate the value of land based on area?
To calculate land value, multiply the area by the price per unit area. For example, if land costs $100 per square foot and you're looking at a 5,000 square foot lot, the land value would be $500,000. Our calculator includes this functionality in the advanced options.
