You know when a home in your neighborhood is for sale and you look it up on Zillow to see the price it’s listed and sells for? (Cmon, we all do it). That’s essentially comparable sales.
Comparable sales, which you may hear called “comps,” are one of the most important tools in real estate.
They are the recently sold homes that are similar to the home you’re buying or selling. This could be location, square footage, number of bedrooms, age and condition etc.
Real estate agents and appraisers use them to estimate what a home is worth in today’s market.When a house goes under contract, an appraiser is called in and also uses comparable sales to determine the home’s market value.
At the end of the day, comparable sales help sellers price accurately, buyers make informed offers, and appraisers determine whether the price reflects the current market.
