I like this kind of measurement, but I learned that it's inaccurate/incorrect. A few weeks ago a read an article in our local newspaper that Charlotte realtors will stop announcing square footage of a house on our MLS. Or it's advertised, it'll have a 'correct' size.
I cannot recall the correct formula, but the main thing is to measure the house from OUTSIDE by measuring each wall and then deduct something for the thickness of those walls...
It was confusing a bit and sure enough many Charlottean readers don't like this new 'science'.
