Why is it not 0.3048?

That converts length; area needs 0.3048 squared.

Do listings measure the same area?

Not always; countries count walls and balconies differently.

Square Feet to Square Meters – 1 sq ft = 0.0929 m²

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters, because a foot is 0.3048 m and you square it. So multiply square feet by 0.0929: a 1,500 sq ft home is 139.4 m², and a 12 × 14 ft bedroom is 168 sq ft, or 15.6 m². To go from square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.764: 80 m² is 861 sq ft. Do not convert the side lengths and the area with the same factor; area uses the square of the length factor.
