Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to Fix Price of Home

• Compare all similar property as yours in the neighborhood (the rate of past 6 months).
• Its fine if you narrow down the time frame even more. Recent price listing is a best option.
• Compare similar square feet rate within 10% less or down.
• Always compare apples to apples. If your house is built in 2000, compare the property with building constructed in that year or in that range.
• Compare the following:
• Original list prices to the final sales prices to determine price reductions.
• Final list prices to actual sold prices, and determine the ratios.
• Compare atleast three properties that were sold at the market value.

• The list of sales and quarterly sales reports can be obtained from the local assessors's officers or from the newspapers.
• If your square feet is 2000sq.ft, then compare it with sq.fts between 1800 to 2200 sq.ft. Do not simply multiply the square feet with the price value. The rate of sq.ft increase with size increase and vice versa.
