There can be a lag of almost three months between the time an offer is accepted and the time is has closed and considered as a comparable sale. During this "lag' time, the market can show some changes although it is pretty stable. We use the properties that are most similar to your subject property currently on the market and the latest sold and closed home sale prices. However, it is our experience that it is better to use something physically near than something more similar or use an older property that has more similarities. Many years of experience and research goes into preparation of your analysis. There are some factors known as stigmas that can affect a property, school districts, strong decorating styles and other features about a property are all considered. Our team has most likely seen the interiors of the homes used here, we tour all properties listed through the MLS. Where possible, sales by owners are also considered and adjusted since they tend to be, on an average, 5-10% lower than sales by real estate professionals and auctions can go as much as 65% less than a professionally marketed home sale. The figures shown at the bottom of your CMA represent a guideline for you to consider for the listing of your property. The closer you can come to reaching the most available buyers, the less time you can expect to be on the market.
