What is a market analysis on a home?

A market analysis on a home, also known as a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), is an in-depth evaluation of similar properties in the same area to determine the current fair market value of your home. This process involves looking at recently sold homes, active listings, and properties that were listed but did not sell, all within your local neighborhood. Factors such as location, property size, condition, and upgrades are compared to provide an accurate price range.

For example, in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Crystal City, Clarendon, Ballston, Del Ray, Fairfax, McLean, and surrounding areas, a market analysis helps sellers price their homes competitively, while it allows buyers to make informed offers. It’s a key tool in ensuring a property is neither underpriced nor overpriced, giving both buyers and sellers confidence in the market.

Establishing the right asking price is critical to the home selling process.
