My Condo is 624 sq.ft., and I plan to remodel, and remove old carpet flooring, and replace.
There are tons of price ranges for carpet out there. One of the main things that effects carpet price is the composition. The 2 main compositions are polyester and nylon. Polyester is the kind that seems to clog up my vaccum with thread residue. Polyester is inferior to nylon. It will not last as long as nylon, but you will pay less. All types of carpet, berber, cut piles, cut&loops come in all price ranges. I, personally, don’t prefer berber as I have cats that will take up the loops and it’s super casual.
If you go to one of the big box stores, you will be safe with a nylon in a $2.50/sqft range. It won’t be top quality, but it won’t be contractor-quality either. When you’re searching for carpet (what a task!) you’ll want to pay attention to the "face weight" as well. That is, essentially, how much a carpet weighs per sqft or sqyd (or, how much thread is it composed of). The higher the face weight, ordinarily the more resilient the carpet will be in the long haul. The best carpets have a face weight over 70 or so. The commerical or contractor grade carpets are usually in the 30′s. Best of luck!

Well there are many carpets that are reasonable as far as price goes. A nice Berber carpet would be a good median point between price/quality. You can expect 3.50-5.00 a sq/ft for most. This is a firm looped carpet which is more on the firm side. Another option is "carpet tile." This is very cheap 2-5 per sq/ft and is sold in 2.7 ft tiles. There are designs/patterns etc which can give you a hint of trendyness. I myself am considering carpet tile because it is easy to install by yourself and you can replace the tile in increments of 2.7ft in heavy traffic or stained areas.
Here are most specifics
