Comparative Market Analysis
What is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a professional report prepared by a real estate agent to estimate the value of a property. It compares your home to similar properties that are currently on the market, recently sold, or were listed but did not sell. This analysis helps determine a competitive and realistic price for your home.
How is a CMA Performed?
Performing a CMA involves several steps:
- Analyzing the location, size, and features of your property.
- Researching comparable properties in your area.
- Evaluating market trends and conditions.
- Adjusting for differences between your property and comparables.
- Providing a detailed report with pricing recommendations.
