Idaho Real Estate Agents and Home Buyers often review and compare price per sq. ft. as the most valid way to determine a home’s value. While this is one great mathematical tool to evaluate the price of a home, make sure you are comparing similar 'apples'. There is much more to determining value than the price per square foot especially if the homes are different! It is like comparing Steak to Hamburger. Both are beef, right?

Don't forget that there additional costs on top of the listing price when it comes time to actually buy the home. 'Closing Costs' is a term that buyers will  hear as they venture from touring homes to making an offer. Do you realize that closing costs can vary significantly from home to home? you may not even realize that you have a degree of control when it comes to who pays for them.
