Attached garage space is not included in the square foot size that is mentioned in real estate listings. The square foot size shown in a typical listing states the gross living area of the home. This means habitable rooms that are cooled or heated, including bathrooms, but not garages or basements. You should clarify what is or is not included in the square foot size whenever it is not clear. In most real estate market areas in the United States, below-grade (basement) furnished areas are not included in the gross living area. Also only enclosed porches that are year-round space and furnished in the same quality as the other portions of the home may be included as gross living area.

Is a deck a part of the square footage of a house?

A deck is not included in the square footage of a house. Only fully enclosed spaces with roof and walls are included. Spaces not designed for occupation such as garages, basements, screen porches, etc., are also not included but are often listed separately (i.e. 2,300 square foot home with 24x25 garage and 18x22 covered deck). If the deck is a fully enclosed all-season room, added with building permits, local standards might allow it to be included in the home square footage. A real estate professional can help with the fine points.
