What is a CMA
No two homes are identical, which is why choosing a sales price or o>er price for a home can be challenging. That's where the comparative market analysis, or CMA, is most useful.
What is a CMA?
How is the CMA created?
The CMA is a side-by-side comparison of homes for sale and homes that have recently sold in the same neighborhood and price range. This information is further sorted by data such as type of home, number of bedrooms, number of baths, lot size, neighborhood, property condition and features, and many other factors. The purpose is to show estimated market value, based on what other buyers and sellers have determined through past sales, pending sales and homes recently put on the market.
CMAs are generated by using property information from your real estate agent's multiple listing service (MLS). The MLS is available to licensed members only, including brokers, salespeople, and appraisers, who pay dues to gain access to the service's public and proprietary data, including tax roll information, sold transactions, and listings input by all cooperating MLS members. Listing agents generate CMAs for their sellers, and buyer's agents create them for their buyers so both sides know what current market conditions are for the homes they're interested in comparing.
How accurate are CMAs?
The CMA is a here-and-now snapshot of the market, based on the most recent data available, but it can instantly be rendered obsolete by a new listing, or a change of status in a home with the same criteria. Why? The market is constantly changing - new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, and expired listings.
CMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and skill of the person creating the CMA as well as the number and type of data Welds that are chosen. That means some features may not be included.
As informative as the CMA is, it should only be used as a tool and should not substitute for your real estate professional's knowledge and advice.

Sold Property Analysis
Time To Sell
Sold homes were on the market for an average of 52 days before they accepted an oVer. These homes sold for an average of 99.28% of list price.
Intelligent Pricing and Timing
Pricing a home for sale is as much art as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.
• Fair market value attracts buyers, overpricing never does.
• The Wrst two weeks of marketing are crucial.
• The market never lies, but it can change its mind.
Fair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area.
Sellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.
Overpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.
August Maier
Intelligent Pricing and Timing
Your best chance of selling your home is in the Wrst two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.
With a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Service, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest Xurry of attention and interest in the Wrst two weeks.
If you don't get many showings or oVers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.
Consult with your agent and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.
The market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.
Intelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value.
August Maier The Maier Group
Curb Appeal, A First Impression That Lasts
Most buyers form their Wrst impression of your home before they even get out of the car. Curb appeal is the view from the curb that gives potential buyers the Wrst chance to fall in love with your home.
The exterior of your home should be in pristine condition - clean, cleared of clutter, with no visible repairs needed. A broken step, overgrown bush, or abandoned toys in the yard can spoil both the home's appearance and the potential buyer's Wrst impression.
Here's a simple cleanup and spruce up checklist to make sure your home leaves a stellar Wrst impression:
• Clear driveways and walkways of snow, weeds, and debris. Repair or replace cracked steps or pavers. Whenever possible, driveways should be clear of vehicles.
• Keep your lawn mowed, edged, and watered. Prune dead branches and plants. Weed Xower beds and replace leggy, thin landscaping with fresh plants and Xowers.
• Replace loose or damaged roof shingles, clean the gutters, and paint and caulk window trim and doors.
• Make the front door area shine: consider repainting your front door and placing a new welcome mat. Polish the door hardware and make sure all front facing windows are clean.
• Power wash siding, brick, windows, and porches.
• Replace light Wxtures -and if possible, pick new Wxtures with the same mounting system to save time and hassle.
• Install new house numbers that match the Wnish of your light Wxtures.
• Consider upgrading your mailbox; it's an inexpensive Wx and the Wrst thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home.
• Install Xowerboxes or pots of blooming Xowers for a pop of color.
• Hang a seasonal wreath from your front door.

Staging Your Home
When you list your home for sale, it becomes a product rather than your personal retreat. You want potential homebuyers to be able to envision themselves living in the home, which can be diYcult if your family's personality is still evident. Before going on market, your agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want to bring in a professional stager to help guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.
When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to oVer, according to the National Association of Realtors ProWle of Home Staging. Staging can also shorten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents reporting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.
A professional stager will typically begin with an in-home consultation, where they will walk through your home with you, review the property, and provide a report with their advice for the home. The report will include advice on decluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in diVerent rooms. The stager may also give tips for improving curb appeal. The most common rooms that are staged are the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and dining room.
Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, your stager could handle bringing in supplementary furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. The cost of services provided will vary depending how much assistance your home will need.

Listing Paperwork Overview
It is my job to bring you an o>er that you want, at the price you want, at the terms you want.
To begin that process we need to complete the listing agreement paperwork. This will let me start the process of marketing and selling your home, but it also serves to protect you and your assets. Here's an overview of the information I will need to begin the process of selling your home. I'm going to start oV with the top 5 pieces of information we capture in the listing agreement.
1. First oV I'm going to need basic information like your name and the address of the property we are listing for sale.
2. We also want to agree on what types of oVers we can accept.
3. We need to include the agreed-upon list price.
4. We will also document what my compensation will be when the property is sold.
5. One of the most important aspects of a listing agreement is to highlight what items are not included with the sale of the property. For instance, is there a chandelier you want to take with you?
Here is some other important information we will also capture in the listing agreement.
• How I handle multiple oVer situations
• Required disclosures
• IndemniWcation
• Fair housing
• HOA details
• Special Assignments?
• Yard Sign
• Lockbox
• Is the property vacant or leased, how long?
• Tax
• Mediation
• Was or is the house in foreclosure
• Has a notice of default been issued
• State laws
• Internet marketing permission
There may be other information that is tied to state or local regulations but I will make sure to go over these while we are completing the paperwork.

The Value of Your Home
In a neighborhood of similar homes, why is one worth more than another? That's the question that's teased buyers and sellers for ages, but the answer is simple.
Every home is di>erent
When a home is sold, a willing seller and a willing buyer determine the value of that home with the sale price. That price then becomes a benchmark for other similar homes, but other factors come into play. The most important are:
Location
The closer a home is to jobs, parks, transportation, schools, and community services, the more desirable it is.
Size
Square footage impacts home value because a larger home is built using more materials, and gives the homeowner more usable space. And a larger lot size could mean more privacy than a smaller one.
Number of bedrooms and baths
Additional bedrooms and bathrooms raise the value of a home compared to similar homes that do not have those rooms.
Features and ?nishes
Features such as outdoor kitchens and spa baths make a home more luxurious. A home Wnished with hardwood Xoors and granite countertops is going to cost more than a home with carpet and laminate countertops.
Condition
The closer a home is to new construction, the more it will retain its value. It's perceived as more modern, up to date, and perhaps safer. Homes that are not updated or in poor repair sell for less as purchasers' factor in the cost of updating and eventually replacing appliances and systems.
Curb appeal
From the street, the home looks clean, fresh, and inviting. Fresh landscaping and Xowers won't change the size or location, but they certainly add charm.
When two homes are identical in the same neighborhood, a higher price may come down to something as simple as views, paint colors, or the overall taste of the homeowner.
