  The answer to this question varies with the MLS rules in your area.  Some MLS's will allow a note about the additional square footage while others won't.  The same goes for bedrooms in the basement.  Realtors and a appraisers will usually assign a value to the finished basement so it is not without value even if the square footage cannot be listed.  The only way to get a clear answer is to consult with real estate agents or an appraiser in your area.

Note:  If the basement was not permitted and renovated to code you may need to may end up costing you money.
