Free Poconos CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)

What is a CMA?

A CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) is an important tool in helping you sell your Poconos home or to understand how much to offer for a new home purchase.  A CMA is an analysis of properties that have recently sold in the market area and serves as a critical benchmark for the home's value. Using our extensive Poconos market knowledge, we provide qualitative price adjustments to properties that have sold, based on characteristics of the home and comparable properties. Those characteristics are:

- Square footage
- Lot size
- Interior upgrades and finishes
- The age and condition of the home
- Exterior upgrades ( pool, landscaping, decks, etc.)

Some Poconos REALTORS charge up to $475 for a CMA.  At PoconoCountryPlaceRealEstate.com, we provide access to Local Poconos agent who will do this service for free.

Why is Pricing, My House For Sale, Important?

Pricing a home for sale is one of the most important steps in selling a Pocono Mountain home.  If you price a home too high, it may be on the markets for months or even years, costing precious time and money.  Sometimes, it may never sell at all and create the aura of a "problem house."  If you price too low, you can leave money on the table.  Advertising and marketing dollars can not overcome an incorrectly priced home.

Determining the right price for a home is one of the most difficult steps for a Poconos home seller.  It is an emotional process, and can be influenced by factors that may not be important to the seller (e.g. money spent on upgrades; How much profit you "want" from the house; Getting enough for a recent utility or roof fix, etc.)

Homeowners can benefit from a clear and un-emotional understanding of the facts and from information on recent transactions that have closed in the surrounding areas.  Even if a home is unique, buyers still look at neighborhood homes that have sold and use that information for their offer.  If a home seller doesn't have information from comparable home sales and an analysis of the market, they will surely be at a competitive disadvantage in negotiations.
