Key Information

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a pricing document prepared by a licensed real estate agent that analyzes comparable sold properties to support a recommended list price for a specific property. BuildMyListing generates CMA presentation documents — formatted, print-ready layouts for the comparable sales data the agent enters from their MLS. BuildMyListing formats and presents the CMA; the licensed analysis and final price recommendation are always the agent's professional responsibility.

Pricing: Starting $99/month

Time Required: 10 minutes to format a CMA presentation

The Problem

Agents spend 30-90 minutes formatting CMA documents — copying MLS comp data into Word, struggling with table alignment, inserting photos, and making it look professional. The analysis itself — selecting the right comparables and determining the price range — is the skilled part. The layout work is overhead.

The Solution

BuildMyListing handles the CMA document layout so agents can focus on the analysis. Enter your selected comparable sales, your subject property details, and your price recommendation. BuildMyListing formats it into a print-ready CMA presentation document with your agent branding.

Key Features

Comparable Sales Table

Enter up to 10 comparable sales (address, sold price, beds/baths, square footage, days on market, distance from subject, and your adjustment notes). BuildMyListing formats them into a side-by-side comparison table with automatic per-square-foot calculations.

Benefit: Professional comps presentation without manual table formatting

Subject Property Summary

Enter the subject property details — address, beds/baths, square footage, year built, lot size, key features. BuildMyListing positions the subject property prominently at the top of the CMA, with the comps below for comparison.

Benefit: Sellers see their home clearly framed against the comparable evidence

Price Range Recommendation Section

Enter your recommended list price range and a brief rationale. BuildMyListing formats this as a dedicated section in the CMA — not buried in the comps, but clearly presented as your professional recommendation.

Benefit: Your price recommendation presented with appropriate prominence

Adjustment Notes

Each comparable sale includes a free-text adjustment field — document why a comp was adjusted up or down (pool, condition, view, renovation status). These notes are formatted as footnotes in the presentation.

Benefit: Transparent, auditable analysis that sellers can follow

Agent Branding Throughout

Your name, brokerage, license number, and contact information appear on every page of the CMA document. The document positions you as the author of the analysis.

Benefit: Every CMA reinforces your professional brand and credentials

How It Works

1

Enter Subject Property and Comparables

Input the subject property details and your selected comparable sales from your MLS. BuildMyListing does not pull MLS data — you enter the comparables you have selected through your MLS research and professional judgment. Enter up to 10 sold comps and up to 5 active listings for context.

2

Enter Price Recommendation

Input your recommended list price or price range and a brief written rationale — typically 2-4 sentences explaining how the comps support your recommendation and what adjustments you made. This is your professional judgment, not an AI estimate.

Download Print-Ready CMA

BuildMyListing formats everything into a professional CMA presentation document — print-ready PDF for in-person appointments and a digital share link for remote consultations. Agent branding on every page.

Common Use Cases

Pre-Listing Seller Consultation

Scenario: Agent is meeting with a seller to discuss pricing. Agent has done the MLS research and selected 5 comparable sales that support a $725K-$750K list range.

Process: Enter subject property + 5 comps with adjustment notes → Enter price range recommendation → Download print-ready CMA → Print and bring to seller consultation

Compliance: All price recommendations and comp selections are agent's professional responsibility — BuildMyListing only formats the presentation

Price Reduction Consultation

Scenario: Listing has been on market 45 days without an offer. Agent needs to present a price reduction recommendation with supporting comp evidence.

Process: Enter current listing as subject + new fresh comps → Enter revised price recommendation → Generate updated CMA document → Present to seller

Compliance: Updated analysis reflects current market data — agent's responsibility to verify comps are current

Frequently Asked Questions

Does BuildMyListing generate a property valuation or automated estimate?
No. BuildMyListing does not generate AI-powered property valuations, automated valuation model (AVM) estimates, or price recommendations. The CMA generator formats and presents the comparable sales data and price recommendation that the licensed agent provides. The analysis — selecting comparables, making adjustments, and determining a price range — is entirely the agent's professional work. BuildMyListing is a document formatting and presentation tool, not a valuation tool.
Where does the comparable sales data come from?
From the agent's MLS access. BuildMyListing does not connect to MLS data feeds. The agent researches and selects comparables through their own MLS subscription, then enters the relevant data points into BuildMyListing. Only licensed real estate agents and brokers have MLS access; this workflow reflects that licensing boundary.
How is a CMA different from an appraisal?
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is prepared by a licensed real estate agent and is used for listing pricing purposes — it's an opinion of market value based on comparable sales, not a formal valuation. A real estate appraisal is prepared by a licensed appraiser and is a formal valuation typically required by lenders for mortgage underwriting. CMAs are used by sellers to set a list price; appraisals are used by lenders to verify the purchase price supports the loan. BuildMyListing generates CMA presentation documents — not appraisals.
How many comparable sales should a CMA include?
Three to six sold comparables is the industry standard for most residential CMAs. Sold comps are more reliable than active listings (which haven't cleared the market). Adding two to three active listings provides current competition context. In low-inventory markets, agents sometimes use expired or withdrawn listings to show what did not sell at a given price, but these are used cautiously.
What adjustments should I explain in the CMA?
Common adjustments include: square footage difference, bedroom/bathroom count, lot size, garage or parking, pool, renovation status (updated kitchens/baths vs. original condition), view, location within subdivision, and condition. The goal is to explain why each comp sold for more or less than your subject property would — helping the seller understand the pricing logic.
Can I include photos of the comparable sales in the CMA?
The BuildMyListing CMA format includes photo fields for both the subject property and comparable sales. Confirm licensing terms for using MLS photos in client documents — many MLS systems allow agents to use listing photos in client-facing documents; verify your specific MLS's terms of use.
Is a CMA the same as a listing presentation?
No. A CMA is a pricing document — focused entirely on comparable sales analysis to support a recommended list price. A listing presentation is the broader seller appointment deck — it includes the CMA section, but also covers the agent's marketing plan, credentials, and marketing materials. BuildMyListing generates both: the CMA as a standalone pricing document and the full listing presentation as an appointment package.
