What would an upward or lower price adjustment look like based on the current market Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?
Well, let’s look at an example.
Let’s say that the CMA of previously and recently sold similar homes shows that the listing price should be around $235,000.
However, those sales were between one month and three months old.
Our current market listing CMA shows that similar homes in the neighborhood are listed at $249,000 or thereabouts.
We and you may decide that the market is improving and justifies raising the listing price of your home to $245,000 so that it’s still competitive but a better deal for you.
Of course, this can work the other way as well.
