You’re searching for a new house and are ready to enjoy all the benefits of owning a home, and you’ve partnered with a REALTOR® to help you find the perfect property, navigate the offers and negotiations processes, and communicate with home sellers in your area. If you’re curious about what kind of home to buy, read up on buying a fixer-upper vs a move-in ready home and what are tract houses to make sure you know your own real estate goals when entering the market.
When you’re determining your budget or preparing to make an offer, your REALTOR® will likely suggest building a CMA, or a Comparative Market Analysis (sometimes referred to as a comparable market analysis). But what is a CMA in real estate, and how can it help you as a buyer?

Understanding a CMA is the first step to becoming a more savvy buyer, and this helpful tool will allow you to assess your local market options, determine a homes value, and deliver airtight, fair offers.
