Comparative Market Analysis
What Is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and Why Does It Matter When Selling Your Home?
When it comes to selling your home in Northern Virginia, setting the right price from the very beginning can make or break your success. That’s where a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) comes in—and at MMK Realty, it’s the first step in our proven home selling strategy.
Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or moving for military orders, a well-executed CMA can help you avoid costly missteps, attract serious buyers quickly, and ultimately walk away with the best possible return.
What Is a CMA?
A Comparative Market Analysis is a detailed report that evaluates your home’s current market value based on similar properties in your neighborhood. It includes:
-
Recently sold homes with comparable square footage, features, and condition
-
Active listings competing for attention in your area
-
Pending sales that reveal current buyer behavior
-
Expired listings that show what pricing strategies failed
At MMK Realty, our CMA reports go far beyond the basics. We factor in micro-market trends across Northern Virginia—from Fairfax and Arlington to Loudoun County, Haymarket, and Alexandria—ensuring your pricing strategy is hyper-local, competitive, and current.
Why Accurate Pricing Is Everything
Pricing your home correctly from day one is essential. Overpricing can cause your home to sit on the market, become stale, and eventually require a price reduction. Underpricing may leave money on the table.
With our in-depth CMA, we:
-
Prevent costly pricing mistakes
-
Help your home generate maximum interest from buyers
-
Position your listing for fast offers and stronger negotiating power
