| Determining your Property's Value
A Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) is designed to estimate the
value of your property under current market conditions. It is, by
definition, the highest price your property will bring if it is put on
the open market today. A CMA is a very time-sensitive assessment
and is created by looking at the property itself, as well as three outside
factors:
1) Current comparable listings
If there are a large number of comparable properties for
sale, there is more competition for buyers.
2) Comparable listings that have sold recently
When we look at properties that have sold and compare
their list price to the actual selling price, we learn a lot
about the strength of the market for properties like yours
and values buyers are assigning to properties in your area.
3) Comparable listings that have expired
Expired listings often reflect a property that was
overpriced. Studying these statistics can help us price
your property right—right from the start.
