CMA Package Step 4: Make Adjustments

Step 4 of the CMA Package lets you to compare the subject property to the listings you selected as comparable and adjust for individual features of each comparable property in order to produce a more accurate analysis. This is an optional step. For simplicity, only one comparable listing displays at a time.

This page displays a columnar format showing the subject property's information next to the comparable property's information. You may adjust the value of a feature by entering a positive or negative amount in the Adjustments column on the right.

Example

You could type a negative amount, such as -5000, next to the Bedrooms field for a comp that has more bedrooms than your subject property. This would reduce the Adjusted Value for the comparable property by $5,000, giving a more accurate comparison with the subject property.

To make adjustments

1. Make adjustments to as many features as desired for the comparable listing currently displaying.
2. Use the Previous Listing/Next Listing links to navigate through the comparable listings or use the Listing # drop-down field in the upper right corner to jump to a specific listing.
3. When you are done making adjustments, click the Next Step link or the 5: Perform Analysis tab to proceed to the next step.
