Preparing an Accurate CMA
By Marten W. Davis, SRPA | December 19, 2008
One of the most frequently asked questions by Realtors at Training Sessions that we moderate is how to prepare an accurate Comparative Market Analysis. The following is an outline of presentations given at Realtor Training Sessions.
Be subdivision specific in both MLS and Public Records.
No more than 3 months from date of valuation, for selection of sales.
Sort by Living Area (if subject is 1250 SF then search from 1150-1350)
Eliminate those having major differences (pool, water, room count, etc).
Search by Grid if there are not 5-10 sales within the subdivision fit 1-4 above (be sure to screen by size and eliminate major differences).
Place sales on market grid in order to see major differences and be able to adjust for these differences.
