A comparative market analysis (CMA) estimates what a home would sell for today from recent closed sales of similar homes nearby, adjusted for the differences, with active and pending listings framing the competition. This CMA keeps the judgment with the agent: closed sales are the evidence, no dollar adjustment is applied automatically, and the report says what the evidence supports and what it does not.
CMA · in the Agent Workspace
The CMA workbench takes your closed sales as evidence, keeps active and pending listings as the competition, applies only the adjustments you enter, and writes the seller presentation with a secure share link.
Building a CMA is free; the written analysis counts toward the writing allowance (10 a month free, unlimited on Pro).
How it works
01
The subject, the seller’s goal and timeline.
02
Three closed sales with price, size and sold date, typed or imported from your MLS CSV. Comp Fit ranks them; it never changes a price.
03
Pricing paths, seller tradeoffs, what the evidence supports and what it does not.
04
A report you can print, export as a PDF, or share by a link you can revoke.

Key facts
Three to six closed sales from the last three to six months, as close in location, size, age and condition as the market allows, plus the active and pending listings a buyer would see. Fewer than three makes the range unreliable; more than six usually adds noise unless the neighborhood is very uniform.
No. A CMA is an agent’s opinion of likely sale price, based on comparable sales, prepared to help a seller price or a buyer offer. An appraisal is a licensed appraiser’s opinion of value for the lender, following USPAP standards. Automated valuations are a third thing: a model’s estimate with no one looking at the home.
