Built on appraisal methodology, because that is who you are arguing with.
Most CMA tools average three comps and round. CMAssist works the way an appraiser works — observed neighborhood first, then adjustments derived from the market rather than guessed — so the number you bring to a seller is the number that holds up when it is challenged.

Step 1
Market context
A 0.5-mile neighborhood notice across all statuses — what the area is doing. Context only; it is not the comparable set.
Observed
The immediate surroundings are consistent mid-century colonials on generous lots, trading between $385,000 and $610,000 over the last twelve months. An agent should notice that the two highest sales on Harrowgate both carry finished lower levels that the subject does not — a difference worth resolving before any pricing conversation.
Step 3
Narrow by size
Limited to 1,712–2,568 sf — within 80–120% of the subject’s 2,140 sf. Similar style and now similar size.
Low
$402,000
Median
$497,500
High
$585,000
31 similar-style, similar-size closed sales.
CMAssist, with sample data. Every name, address and figure shown is invented.
Before
The appraisal came in low and your CMA was no help.
When a deal is $20,000 short, the conversation moves onto the appraiser's ground: closed sales, paired analysis, adjustments with a stated basis. A pricing tool that averaged some actives and applied a gut feel has nothing to say in that room. Neither does the agent holding it.
How it works
01
Observe
Start with the neighborhood as an appraiser would — what is actually there — and write the observed narrative before anyone says a number.
02
Adjust
Condition and quality of construction handled as separate residuals, because one is curable upkeep and the other is how the house was built. Merged, they cancel each other out.
03
Defend
A report that shows its work: which sales, which adjustments, and why — ready for a request for reconsideration.
What you get
- Closed sales carry the argument
- Under contract is marginal and active listings are not evidence. The report is explicit about which is which.
- Adjustments with a stated basis
- Every adjustment traceable to a rule, not a slider somebody nudged until the number looked right.
- Connecticut and Massachusetts
- SmartMLS and MLS PIN data behind the comps, live.
- A methodology, not a template
- Seven steps applied in the same order every time, so two agents on your team produce two comparable reports.
- Made to be handed over
- The output is built for an appraiser or a reviewer to read, not only for a listing presentation.

- Does it replace an appraisal?
- No, and it does not claim to. It produces a supported opinion of value and the evidence behind it.
- Which MLS do you cover?
- SmartMLS in Connecticut and MLS PIN in Massachusetts today. Others as we add them.
- Can I use it for a reconsideration of value?
- That is what it is for. The report is structured around closed comparable evidence for exactly that reason.
