📊 How Does a Listing Agent Evaluate Your Property?

When it comes time to sell your home, one of the most important steps is setting the right listing price. Price too high, and your home risks sitting on the market. Price too low, and you could leave money on the table. That’s where a professional Listing Agent and a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) come in.
When it comes time to sell your home, one of the most important steps is setting the right listing price. Price too high, and your home risks sitting on the market. Price too low, and you could leave money on the table. That’s where a professional Listing Agent and a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) come in.

A CMA is a detailed report that provides valuable insights into your property’s true market value. Here’s what it includes:


✅ Price Range

Your agent will assess your property’s condition and present a value range — from “as-is” to what it could fetch if fully renovated.


✅ Recently Sold Comps


The most reliable indicator of value comes from comparing your home to similar ones that have sold within the last 12 months in your neighborhood.


✅ Active & Pending Listings


These represent your current competition. Buyers will always compare your home to what’s available right now.


✅ 1-Year & 2-Year Market Growth Trends


Understanding how the market has appreciated over time helps determine whether it’s trending upward or stabilizing.


✅ Price Per Square Foot


This benchmark helps adjust your home’s value based on size and usable space compared to others nearby.


✅ Days on Market (DOM)


The average time it takes for similar homes in your area to sell offers insight into demand and pricing strategy.


✅ Adjustments for Features


Every property is unique. Factors such as bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, garage, renovations, and upgrades are carefully factored into your valuation.
