What is the CMA Helper?

A Comparative Market Analysis is the cornerstone of a real estate agent's value proposition — it's how you help clients understand what their home is worth and how to price it competitively. This tool streamlines the number-crunching portion of a CMA by automatically calculating price per square foot for each comp, applying simple adjustments for bedroom, bathroom, garage, pool, and condition differences, and generating a suggested list price range based on the adjusted values.

Enter your subject property details and up to 6 comparable sales, including sale price, square footage, key features, and days on market. The tool produces a comparison table and a midpoint price recommendation with a ±5% range, plus key market stats like average DOM and average $/sqft across your comps.

CMA Best Practices

  • Use 3–6 comps sold within the past 3–6 months
  • Stay within 0.5 miles in urban areas; 1 mile in suburban areas
  • Match square footage within 20% of subject property
  • Include active listings to show competition, not just sold comps
  • Adjust for lot size, views, updates, and neighborhood quality

Frequently Asked Questions

A CMA is an analysis estimating a property's market value by comparing it to recently sold properties with similar characteristics. Used to help sellers set a list price and buyers make competitive offers. It considers location, size, condition, features, and market trends.

Use 3–6 comparable sales from the past 3–6 months within the same neighborhood, with similar square footage (within 20%), similar bed/bath count, and similar age or condition. In slow markets, expand to 12 months or widen the search radius.

Common adjustments: bedroom ±$10,000–$20,000; full bathroom ±$8,000–$15,000; garage ±$15,000–$25,000; pool ±$20,000–$40,000. Add to the comp if the subject is superior in that feature; subtract if inferior. This tool uses simplified adjustments — always apply local market knowledge.
