Hi Jesse,
The cost per square foot only includes the livable square footage of the home. The average cost / square foot can vary greatly within the Seattle area. For example, a new luxury property in the Sand Point area will have a significantly higher $/square foot compared to a simple new home in the Beacon Hill area. If you have a property in mind that you'd like some comps on, post the address and I can try to better answer your question. Or, you can send me a message with the address and I'll email you back some comps.
Talk to you then,
Stephanie

For what ? House, condo, commercial, apartment, church ?!?!?
$$ / sq ft does NOT include land since it is simply dividing the price by the size of the improvement.
$$ / sq ft is a poor indicator of value, I wouldnt use it.
