What is a CMA?
Dated: March 25 2023

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a report that real estate agents prepare to help their clients determine the fair market value of a property they are interested in buying or selling. The CMA compares the subject property to similar properties that have recently sold in the same area, taking into account factors such as size, location, condition, and amenities.
To prepare a CMA, the real estate agent will typically start by conducting a thorough evaluation of the subject property, taking into account its unique features, recent upgrades or renovations, and any other factors that could impact its value. They will then research comparable properties in the local market, looking at factors such as age, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and lot size.
Based on this information, the agent will compile a report that includes a list of recently sold properties that are comparable to the subject property, along with details on their sale prices and other relevant information. The agent will then use this data to determine an estimated fair market value for the subject property, taking into account any differences between it and the comparable properties.
The CMA can be a valuable tool for buyers and sellers alike, as it provides an objective assessment of a property's value based on current market conditions. It can help sellers price their property competitively to attract buyers, while buyers can use the CMA to ensure they are paying a fair price for a property they are interested in.
