What is a CMA in real state?

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.
