I thought Americans used sq ft to casually describe houses? Please don’t switch to number of bedrooms. That’s what we do in UK and it’s led to house builders squeezing closet-sized bedrooms into a house so they can sell it as a 4-bed.
Look at some UK new builds on Rightmove and you will delete this.1 decent bedroom turned into 3 shitty bedrooms just to make up numbers. You can’t even fit a bed in them all

Americans use any/all of bedrooms/bathrooms/square footage/lot size
Football fields
Usually, we use both measures.
We also measure them in bulletproof ratings. The average house is a level 6.
And lot size in football fields, a 1500 square foot 3 bed 2 bath on 1/4 of a football field.
Just be thankful we are using soemwhat sane measurements, ive witnessed someone use Humvee’s as a measurement. It was in relation to a pool.
I’ve never used square feet as a primary way to describe a house. The rooms are the main concern.

There are apparently rules in America that require a minimum size
Although sizes can vary from state to state, 70 to 80 square feet in size is generally the acceptable minimum
