What Is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?

A Comparative Market Analysis, commonly called a CMA, is a report that estimates a property's market value by comparing it to similar homes that have recently sold, are currently listed, or were recently removed from the market.

A CMA typically considers:

  • Property size

  • Location

  • Age of the home

  • Features and upgrades

  • Recent sales activity

Why Is a CMA Helpful?

A CMA can help sellers:

  • Establish a realistic asking price

  • Understand current market conditions

  • Avoid overpricing or underpricing

  • Make informed pricing decisions
