About This Conversion

Square feet to square meters is the property conversion: floor plans, rental listings and building specifications move between the two constantly. One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m², which is 0.3048 squared.

The squaring is where intuition fails. A foot is roughly a third of a meter, so people expect a third of the area, but the real ratio is closer to a tenth. A 1,000 sq ft apartment is 92.9 m², not 300, and applying the linear factor overstates the space more than threefold.
