What Is a CMA? Why It Matters When Selling Your Home in Bastrop

Introduction

Thinking of selling your home in Bastrop? One of the most important tools you’ll need is a CMA—or Comparative Market Analysis. But what exactly is it, and how does it help you get top dollar?

Let’s break it down in plain English.


What Is a CMA?

A CMA is a custom report created by a real estate professional that estimates your home’s current market value based on:

  • Recent sales of similar homes
  • Active listings in your area
  • Expired/withdrawn listings
  • Property condition and upgrades

Why Zillow Zestimates Aren’t Enough

Zestimates use automated data—but Bastrop neighborhoods are too diverse for algorithms to be accurate.

✅ A CMA uses real comps, current trends, and your home’s unique features.

Final Thoughts

A good CMA = better pricing = faster offers = more money in your pocket. Before you list, make sure you have a real market value, not a guess.
