Should I use built-up area or carpet area?

Either works, but be consistent. Price per built-up sqft will be lower than price per carpet sqft for the same property, since built-up area is larger. Always compare listings using the same area basis.

How do I use this to compare two listings?

Calculate price per sqft for each listing using the same area definition, then compare directly, the lower figure is the better value on a pure area basis, though location, amenities and condition still matter.

How this is calculated

Price per sq ft = Property price ÷ Area (sq ft)

Assumptions used in this calculation

Consistent area basis: Assumes the area you enter matches the definition (built-up, carpet, or super built-up) you intend to compare against, this calculator doesn't convert between area types.
