A method of property valuation real estate professionals use to estimate the value of residential properties.
A comparative market analysis helps sellers choose the best listing price for their homes.
A CMA compares a subject property to other homes that are similar in location, size, and features.Ideally, a CMA uses recently sold homes from the same area or subdivision as the subject property.
What's in a CMA Report?
When a real estate agent or broker conducts comparative market analysis, they will create a report that details the findings. While there's no standardized CMA report, it will typically include:
The address of the subject property and three to five or more sold comparables
A description of each property, including elevation, floor plan, features, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
The square footage of each property
The sales price of each comparable
Dollar adjustments for any differences
The fair market value of the subject property
