A proper comparative market analysis is the real basis for your list price — here's exactly what goes into one, and why a per-square-foot guess isn't the same thing.
Pull recent comparable sales
Homes genuinely similar to yours — same area, property type, and condition — that sold in the last 3–6 months, not just anything nearby.
Review active and expired competition
What's currently listed (and what didn't sell) shows exactly what buyers are comparing your home against right now.
Adjust for real differences
Lot size, upgrades, parking, and condition all shift a comp's value up or down — a proper CMA adjusts for these, not just averages raw sale prices.
Factor in absorption rate
How fast homes are selling in your specific area and price range signals whether to price competitively or hold firm.
Actual closed sales within the last few months — the single strongest signal of what buyers are really willing to pay.
What else is currently on the market in your area and price range — your home won't sell in isolation from it.
Homes that didn't sell reveal pricing mistakes worth avoiding — often overpriced relative to what the market actually bore.
The ratio of active listings to recent sales pace — tells you whether it's a buyer's, seller's, or balanced market right now.
This is the same live MLS data a CMA draws from — pull up what's actually active in your area to get a feel for your own competition.
