I didn't think that shopping cart would be worth so much.

It doesn't show our addition above the garage on the house description so knowing what that adds, I'd say it is very close to value.

There are lots of places that are way cheaper then here. Maryland is the 4th most expensive state to live in! Atleast it was last year.

They have my house listed as 1 level and 2300 Square Feet. They're missing 2 levels and about 1000 square feet. It's currently listed a little over what it was appraised for about a year ago.

Mine's the same way -- they have the lot size and sales prices right - but they not only don't include the finished downstairs - which has been finished since about, oh, 1975 - they don't include the extension over the garage which was done ten years ago (about 500-600 sq ft).

But it's not bad.

I'm wondering if when my house was first built if the basement and the upstairs was unfinished? That's the only reason I can think of for it being listed as 1 level.

I also heard that a basement can't be used in the square footage assessment. I thought it could be classified as "liveable space" if it was finished and had windows. Ours has windows on all sides, since in reality, only a few feet of our house is actually under ground. Does anyone know about the rules for this?

I am not sure but I think it has something to do with exits in case of fire, and those little 1/4 windows don't count.
