Frequently Asked Questions About Adams County & Its Demographics

What is the price per square foot of a new home in Adams County?

Selling Price divided by Square Feet of Heated Living Space = Price per Square Foot

The price per square foot to build a new house is typically determined by taking the selling price and dividing it by the square feet of heated living space. Therefore do not include in your square feet factor: garage space, unheated space above the garage, porches, attached decks, driveways/walks, etceteras.

The many variables that affect the square foot price are included in the price factor of your equation. For example, when a contractor purports to build a new home for $85.00 per square foot, what you don't know is whether or not the selling price features the best of the material specifications or even includes the following high-dollar features: domestic water well, sewage, garage, porches, driveway, fences, landscaping, kitchen appliances, heating system type, composition of roof shingles, basement / crawl space, one story or two, etceteras.

Therefore, as you can see, there really is no way to compare the prices of new homes using the "square foot" method. The price/SF is merely the result of two variable factors and only serves as a gauge to let you know the rough estimate of similarly constructed homes on similar building sites. Imagine if you compared the price of a BMW to the price of a Geo, dividing the price of each by its four wheels. This would give you the price per wheel of the vehicle but that information would not serve much practical use for comparing the differences.
