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. 👇 Questions about your home's square footage? Drop them below.
