How does this specific home compare to others in the area, in terms of ownership, home exterior, home square footage and lot size, upgrades and improvements, content, and systems? Is the specific location, the neighborhood, the block, a positive or a negative for this house?
two. Professionally Prepared Competitive Market Analysis (CMA): What are competitive and comparable homes in this area selling for?
