Instant Estimate Tools are quick and convenient—but they rely on algorithms and outdated data. They often miss the nuances that truly affect your home’s value: recent renovations, unique features, neighborhood trends, and current buyer demand.

A Traditional CMA, prepared by a real estate professional, goes deeper. It includes:

* A detailed analysis of recent comparable sales

* Insight into local market conditions

* Consideration of your home’s unique features

* Strategic pricing advice based on real-time data and experience

Bottom line? An instant estimate gives you a number. A CMA gives you a strategy.
