Question 1

What is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?

Accepted Answer

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a professional evaluation that estimates a property's value by comparing it to similar properties (called 'comps') that have recently sold, are currently for sale, or were listed but didn't sell in the same area. It considers factors like location, size, condition, features, and recent market trends to provide an accurate property valuation.
