No offense to the apps — but a Zestimate is not a home valuation. It's an algorithm doing its best with public data it may or may not have right. It doesn't know that your kitchen was just renovated. It doesn't know the roof is new. It doesn't know what's actually been happening on your street in the last 90 days.
A CMA — Comparative Market Analysis — does.
Here's what actually goes into one:
🏡 Recently sold homes that are genuinely comparable to yours
📍 Real location factors, not just zip code averages
📊 Current market conditions in your specific area
💰 A price range based on what buyers are actually paying right now
For sellers, it's how we price your home to attract offers without leaving money on the table. For buyers, it's how we know whether an asking price is fair before you make a move.
The apps are great for browsing. For the decisions that actually matter? Talk to your agent. 👇
