GLA is gone. ANSI has been in full affect and the new forms will be very confusing

So you've got a gorgeous finished upper level. Bedroom, bathroom, den — the whole package. 🏠

But the ceiling? 6.5 feet.

Guess what — under ANSI Z765-2021, that's not Gross Living Area. That's Additional Living Area. And no, those are not the same thing on an appraisal.

Here's the kicker — appraisers are REQUIRED to follow ANSI.

Your MLS? Not required.

Your listing agent's tape measure? Not required.

The appraiser's liability? Absolutely required. 😂

So if you're selling a home with low ceilings, a Cape Cod upper level, or a bonus room — get a pre-listing appraisal FIRST.

Because finding out your 1,800 square feet is actually 1,400 square feet of GLA at the LOAN appraisal is a really bad time to be surprised. 📐

Know your numbers before you list. That's not the ceiling — that's just good advice.
