But with talk of interest rates going up, some the best deals are already gone. Showing appointments are up while visitors and potential buyers are in town for summer events such as Spanish and Indian market.

A lot measuring 90 feet wide by 120 feet deep sold for $80,000. A. What was the price per front foot ? B. What was the price per square foot ? Answers posted below the wildlife photos. Please take your time. A. $888.89 B. $7.41 Let's first find the front foot price by dividing 90 feet (the front width) into 80,000 and we find that the the cost is $888.8888 or rounded $888.89. Now, to find the price per square foot first multiply 90 times 120 to arrive at a total of 10800 square feet. Divide 10800 into 80000 and we get 7.4074 or rounded $7.41 per square foot.
