1 ft² = 0.092903 m² (square foot → square meter)
1 ft² = 0.092903 m²
1 square foot equals 0.092903 square meters. To convert square feet to square meters, multiply the square foot value by 0.092903. For quick reference: 1 ft² = 0.092903 m², 5 ft² = 0.464515 m², 10 ft² = 0.92903 m², 100 ft² = 9.2903 m².
Square feet to square meters multiplies by 0.09290304 exactly (0.3048 m squared). A 2,000 sq ft US house is 185.8 m²; an 800 sq ft apartment is 74.3 m². Divide by roughly 10.76, or multiply by 0.093 — both get you there. US real-estate square footage usually measures interior livable space, while many metric markets quote gross area including walls, so two 'equal' figures may describe different things beyond the unit change.
US real-estate listing sites syndicating to international property portals convert every square-footage figure this way before publishing abroad — a 1,200 sq ft apartment is 111.5 m², a 2,500 sq ft house is 232.3 m², and a 450 sq ft studio is 41.8 m². Because the exact factor (0.09290304) comes from squaring the foot-to-meter length ratio, always convert the whole area at once rather than converting a length dimension first and squaring it afterward — rounding at the linear step compounds into a bigger area error.
