Free Buyer Offers AI CMA Report Generator (2026)

Generally no, unless specifically requested or it strengthens your position. The CMA is an internal tool to help your buyer make informed decisions. However, if the property is overpriced and you are making a lower offer, selectively sharing comparable data may help educate the seller and justify your offer.

Focus your CMA on determining true market value, then advise on competitive positioning. In hot markets, be transparent that offers may exceed CMA value. Help buyers decide their maximum price based on affordability and competition, not just comparables. A CMA shows fair value; offer strategy considers market dynamics.

Use the CMA to educate your buyer about market value and set realistic expectations. Show comparable sales and days on market trends. If your buyer loves the property, discuss offering at or near market value with justification data. If seller is unrealistic, help your buyer decide whether to wait for price reduction or move on.

Update CMAs every 2-4 weeks during active house hunting, or immediately if market conditions change rapidly. In fast-moving markets, even week-old data can be outdated. Before submitting any offer, run a fresh CMA using the most recent sales and active listings to ensure accurate pricing guidance.

Yes, include contingent and pending sales to show current buyer activity and market momentum. While not as reliable as closed sales (they may fall through), pending sales often indicate where the market is heading. Label them clearly and use primarily as supporting data, not primary comparables.

Compare to recent new construction sales in the same or similar developments first. If unavailable, use resale comparables but adjust for new construction premiums (typically 5-15% depending on market). Factor in builder incentives, upgrade costs, and community amenities. Consider builder reputation and construction quality in adjustments.
