When it comes to putting your home on the market, online “guestimates” shouldn’t guide your selling price. The best way to price your home is through a comparable market analysis (CMA).

What Is a CMA?

A CMA is an in-depth report of compiled data that realtors use to determine your property value range. Because there are a number of critical influences that go into building a CMA report, it is unequivocally by far a superior resource in determining market value – it leaves no detail behind.  

My Comprehensive CMA Process

A comprehensive CMA contains analysis margins that ultimately require an experienced realtor’s in-depth knowledge of the subject property. As a top real estate agent, I will help you determine pricing with a high level of accuracy, as well as set a level of expectation of what to anticipate the home will eventually appraise for so that there aren’t any surprises. When preparing CMA’s, I utilize a precision approach that includes descriptors, photos, maps, pricing, sales history, market data, and more – and I continually update your CMA, keeping you ahead of the market prior to listing your home. 

CMA’s Are Also Valuable When Buying a Home

A CMA is also important when you are buying a home as there are factors that could negatively impact value. So, before you buy, ask yourself, “Will it be a hard sell if the market shifts, when I decide or need to sell?” Working with an experienced realtor will provide vast knowledge when purchasing a property, keeping you aligned with resale market trends/values.

Bottom line, hiring an experienced realtor in your market area will provide you with a wealth of valuable resources, insight, accuracy, and most of all confidence when getting ready to sell your home. Having seen and sold  comparable homes in your market area and weighing buyer interests, inventory, pending sales, and recently sold properties, I will factor in the current market conditions with a “here and now” temperature read.

If you want more information and would like a confidential assessment of your property and discussion about your real estate needs, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you as I’ve successfully listed and sold many of the homes in the area.
