Understanding a Comparative Market Analysis

What a CMA actually measures, and why it differs from an automated online estimate.
What goes into a CMA
A comparative market analysis looks at recently sold properties similar in location, size, condition, and features, then adjusts for the differences between those homes and yours.
Why online estimates differ
Automated estimates rely on public records and broad models. They cannot see a renovated kitchen, a difficult driveway, or a quiet interior location. That is the gap a personalized analysis closes.
