Showing appointments are up while visitors and potential buyers are in town for summer events such as Spanish and Indian market.

A lot measuring 90 feet wide by 120 feet deep sold for $80,000. A. What was the price per front foot ? B. What was the price per square foot ? Answers posted below the wildlife photos. Please take your time. A. $888.89 B. $7.41 Let's first find the front foot price by dividing 90 feet (the front width) into 80,000 and we find that the the cost is $888.8888 or rounded $888.89. Now, to find the price per square foot first multiply 90 times 120 to arrive at a total of 10800 square feet. Divide 10800 into 80000 and we get 7.4074 or rounded $7.41 per square foot.
