We Check Out the Comps
“Comps” is short for comparable sales—homes in your area that are similar in size, age, condition, and location and have recently sold. These are the best clues to your home’s current market value. This is usually done by:
- Looking for homes sold in the last 3–6 months
- Sticking to homes within a 1-mile radius
- Matching square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, and lot size as closely as possible
You can use websites like Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor.com to peek at sales in your neighborhood—or go the easy route and use our website tool.
