Introduction
When it comes to pricing your home correctly—or deciding how much to offer—guesswork can cost you thousands. That’s where a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) comes in. A CMA is not just another form—it’s your pricing blueprint.
What Exactly Is a CMA?
A Comparative Market Analysis evaluates your property’s value by comparing it to similar, recently sold properties in your area. These properties (called “comparables”) are matched based on:
Location
Size and square footage
Bedrooms and bathrooms
Lot size
Condition and upgrades
Why Is a CMA So Important?
Accurate Pricing – Avoid overpricing (which leads to stale listings) or underpricing (which leaves money on the table).
Stronger Negotiations – Buyers trust data. A well-prepared CMA justifies your asking price.
Faster Sales – Homes priced right sell faster—and often for more.
How Is a CMA Done?
Real estate professionals like myself use MLS data, tax records, and market trends. We adjust for differences (e.g., a remodeled kitchen, a pool, or an extra garage) and use multiple approaches to refine the estimate:
Sales Comparison Approach
Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)
Market Momentum Trends
When Should You Request a CMA?
Before listing your home
When buying in a competitive market
For investment decisions
If refinancing or appealing your property taxes
