A Real Estate CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) is a tool used by real estate professionals to estimate the value of a property by comparing it to similar properties that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or were listed but not sold. The analysis considers factors such as location, size, condition, and features of the properties. A CMA helps sellers set competitive listing prices and assists buyers in making informed offers. It is a crucial part of the home-buying and selling process to ensure fair market pricing.
