I've seen some reported listings cheat on the square footage.

That second floor probably offers little reportable living space square footage.

That's a steep pitch on the roof, and there are knee walls up there.

Sometimes, when the square footage of a home is reported in a situation like that, floor measurements are taken from wall-to-wall. However, living space square footage should only be reported in areas that have a ceiling 5 feet or higher.

So if you have a steep pitch upstairs, you should only measure your square footage where the ceiling is 5 feet or over, not were the roof attaches to the top plate, where the ceiling height might only be 6 inches.

Sorry to go off topic, True Dough.

Edit to add" Looking at this further...the second floor is likely just an attic and not included in the square footage because there are no windows up there. So if all of the square footage is on the first floor...the width of that building looks to be 10-11 feet based on the doors and windows. That means the length is a little over 44 feet.

44 x 11 for half a mil!!
