THE COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
No two homes are identical, which is why choosing a sales price or offer price for a home can be challenging. That's where the Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA, is most useful.
What is a CMA?
The CMA is a side-by-side comparison of homes for sale and homes that have recently sold in the same neighborhood and price range. This information is further sorted by data such as type of home, number of bedrooms, number of baths, lot size, neighborhood, property condition and features, and many other factors. The purpose is to show estimated market value, based on what other buyers and sellers have determined through past sales, pending sales and homes recently put on the market.
How is the CMA created?
CMAs are generated by using property information from your real estate agent's Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is available to licensed members only, including brokers, salespeople, and appraisers, who pay dues to gain access to the service's public and proprietary data, including tax roll information, sold transactions, and listings input by all cooperating MLS members. Listing agents generate CMAs for their sellers, and buyer's agents create them for their buyers so both sides know what current market conditions are for the homes they're interested in comparing.
How accurate are CMAs?
The CMA is a here-and-now snapshot of the market, based on the most recent data available, but it can instantly be rendered obsolete by a new listing, or a change of status in a home with the same criteria. Why? The market is constantly changing — new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, and expired listings. CMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and skill of the person creating the CMA as well as the number and type of data fields that are chosen.
How can CMAs vary?
CMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and expertise of the person inputting the search parameters. They also may vary between identical homes in that one property may simply offer better “curb appeal” or is in better condition that the other. Lastly, buyer and seller motivation can’t be quantified. It is typically impossible to say why a seller agreed to take less for their home or why a buyer paid more for another home. Family problems, corporate relocations and other reasons all play a role. What you can learn from the CMA is how long a home took to sell. If it was quick, the seller was highly motivated. If it didn’t, it was probably overpriced.
THE COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
Is a CMA the same as an Appraisal?
No. Although the CMA is used to help determine current market value, it does not establish the seller's home value. A bank appraisal, on the other hand, is a professional determination of a home's value. The appraisal is completed by a licensed Appraiser, using guidelines established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates federal housing loan guarantors such as FHA, VA and housing loan purchasers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. An appraisal is a comprehensive look at a home's location, condition, and eligibility for federal guarantees. For example, a home that doesn't meet safety requirements such as handrails on steps will not be eligible for FHA or VA loans until the handrail is installed or repaired. Appraisers use the same data in their market research to find comparable homes as real estate agents. While they are also members of the MLS, they also have additional guidelines from the bank to follow that minimize risk to the bank. They will take into consideration — and can adjust values to reflect — the speed of the market and whether prices are rising or falling. When the appraisal is finished, the bank makes the decision to fund the loan, or it may require the seller to fix certain items and show proof that the repairs have been made before letting the loan proceed. If the loan doesn't meet lending guidelines, the bank will decline the loan.
And is my home worth what the Internet says?
In short — maybe? Many homeowners like to visit sites like Zillow, REDFIN, etc., to see what their home is worth. What they fail to understand is that most of those sites have an 8% - 12% margin of error which means a home worth $400,000 could be worth anywhere between $360,000 and $440,000 and that’s if we only use a 10% margin of error. That is quite the large window!
Estimating a home’s market value is far from an exact science. These sites contract with major title companies to obtain county tax roll data which they combine with data obtained from the MLS, push it through their algorithm and bingo! You have your “Zestimate”!!
On February 29, 2016, then Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff sold a Seattle home for $1.05 million, 40 percent less than the Zestimate of $1.75 million shown on its property page a day later.
