WHAT IS A CMA?

No two homes are identical, which is why choosing a sales price or offer price for a home can be challenging. That's where the comparative market analysis, or CMA, is most useful. The price range from the CMA can then be used as a guide for establishing an offer or a listing price.

 

Building a CMA involves finding homes that are similar to your property, creating a comparison of its age, size, location, and features. Current market data is then used to determine a fair value and provide you with a realistic starting point when it comes to pricing your home.
