The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Seaham, Dalton-le-Dale, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 42 m² | 49 m² | 64 m² | 50 |
| 3 | 51 m² | 64 m² | 84 m² | 642 |
| 4 | 65 m² | 79 m² | 96 m² | 987 |
| 5 | 72 m² | 87 m² | 116 m² | 779 |
| 6 | 95 m² | 113 m² | 153 m² | 332 |
| 7 | 104 m² | 129 m² | 205 m² | 238 |
| 8 | 136 m² | 175 m² | 337 m² | 88 |
| 9 | 146 m² | 176 m² | 278 m² | 51 |
| 10 | 205 m² | 266 m² | 293 m² | 10 |
| 12 | 274 m² | 347 m² | 500 m² | 12 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 8 habitable rooms, ranging from 136 to 337 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
