Quick
When to use square meters → square feet
Square meters to square feet multiplies by 10.7639 (1 m² = 10.76391 sq ft, from 0.3048² inverted). A 100 m² apartment is 1,076 sq ft; a 50 m² studio is 538 sq ft. This is the conversion every cross-border property search runs on — European listings quote m², US and Canadian listings quote sq ft. The classic mistake is using the linear factor (~3.28) instead of its square: that makes a 100 m² flat look like a 328 sq ft closet instead of the 1,076 sq ft it really is.

About the square meter and the square foot
The square meter
The square meter is the SI unit of area — the area of a square one meter on each side. It's the standard for apartment and house listings in nearly every metric country, for material quantities (flooring, paint coverage), and for all scientific work. A typical parking space is about 12 m²; a singles tennis court is about 195 m².
The square foot
The square foot is the standard area unit for US and Canadian real estate, and remains common in UK property listings alongside square meters. One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m² (derived from 1 ft = 0.3048 m squared). A typical US single-family home is 1,500–2,500 sq ft; a two-car garage is about 400–600 sq ft.
