How it works

A square foot is a square 0.3048 m on each side, so 1 sq ft = 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m² exactly, and m² = sq ft × 0.09290304 (or ÷ 10.7639). A 1,000 sq ft apartment is 92.90 m², a 1,500 sq ft one 139.35 m² and a 2,000 sq ft house 185.81 m².

Property portals in the UAE, the US, the UK and India quote sizes in square feet, while European, Saudi and most Asian listings use square metres. Converting both to the same unit, and then dividing the price by the area, is the only fair way to compare listings across markets.

How to convert square feet to square metres

Formula: m² = sq ft × 0.09290304.

Multiply the square feet by 0.09290304, which is 0.3048 × 0.3048 because both sides of the square convert. Worked example for a 1,250 sq ft apartment: 1,250 × 0.09290304 = 116.13 m².

To compare prices, convert the price per area too: a price per square foot × 10.7639 gives the price per square metre. A listing at 1,500 per sq ft is 16,146 per m².
