Rooms With Sloped Ceilings5 _# f4 n& J7 @. @3 u2 t
Such as the loft found in an A-Frame home. If you measure room dimensions where the sloped walls meet the floor, you are including space that isn't truly usable.

Include only the portion of the room where ceiling height is at least five feet. To be included at all, a minimum of one half of the finished area of the room must have ceilings at least seven feet high., W* v. T x, J4 X. P; p0 T e

Stairs3 `- L! R n9 a6 H$ O
In general, if the opening for the stairway is larger than its length and width, you must deduct the excess open space from the upper level's square footage., U( b. F) P3 a+ M9 C& l

Open Foyer & Other Open Space/ f8 Y, p9 O" M( J
Do not include open space as part of the square footage for an upper level. This may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many agents forget to deduct it. |
