Square footage...

I'm trying to figure out my house square footage.

Zillow says it's like 1600, but Zillow also says it's 3 bedroom and it's definitely 4 bedroom. Zillow seems to have made this mistake for all the houses in my neighborhood with our floorplan.

I'm not seeing square footage on any of our tax documents or house title. I feel like the house is at least 1800.

I measured the insides of all the rooms, minus the closests and it's like 1300. I measured including the inside walls and closets and its more like 2000. I haven't measured from the outside walls but I bet that's even more.

Searching online doesn't help because some say to include closests and thickness of walls and some don't.

How accurate do I have to be and will I lose money selling our house if we underestimate the square footage ?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
