What goes into a market analysis?
A comparative market analysis (CMA) is a property-specific review of available market evidence. It typically considers recent closed sales, active competition, pending activity where available, property type, size, lot, layout, condition, upgrades, location, and market timing. The goal is to understand how buyers may compare your home with other options—not to promise a particular sale price.
Why the details matter
Two homes in the same neighborhood can have different values because of condition, floor plan, lot usability, views, location within the community, upgrades, solar arrangements, HOA costs, special taxes, and insurance considerations. Price per square foot can be a helpful reference, but it should not be used by itself to set a price.
What should you have ready?
- Property address and approximate living area and lot size.
- Bedroom and bathroom count and any unusual layout features.
- Major upgrades, approximate dates, permits, invoices, and warranties.
- Roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool, septic, well, or solar information.
- HOA dues, special assessments, solar agreements, and known liens.
- Known repairs, past leaks, insurance claims, or other conditions that may need disclosure.
- Your preferred timing, next move, and goals for the sale.
What you receive
We can review the most relevant comparable sales, active competition, potential pricing range, likely buyer alternatives, and preparation or marketing considerations. I will explain the reasoning and limitations behind the analysis so you can decide how you want to move forward.

A CMA is not an appraisal, inspection, guarantee of value, or promise of sale price. Market conditions and property details can change.
