What Is A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)? (Special Guest Blog)
A CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) is a report provided by a licensed Realtor that is a professional assessment of the market value of your home should you put it on the market today.
A CMA generally provides a price range that your home is recommended to be listed within. A CMA is not an appraisal, but the professional assessment of your Realtor® on the current market value of your home should you put in on the market today so it sells in a reasonable amount of time for as close to the asking price as possible.
While Appraisals are used by banks for financing purposes and focus on the recent sold properties, a properly completed CMA takes not only sold properties into consideration, but other factors as well, including market trends (buyer vs. seller market), number of comparable homes on the market, average days on market, and current comparable homes on the market that are active and under contract.
