What Is a CMA—And Why Does It Matter in Charleston Real Estate?
At The Kauffman Group, we know that accurate pricing is the foundation of every successful real estate transaction—whether you’re buying or selling. That’s where a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) comes in.
What Is a CMA?
A CMA is a data-driven report prepared by real estate professionals to determine a home’s true market value based on:
✔ Recently sold comparable properties
✔ Active/pending listings in your neighborhood
✔ Local market trends (inventory, demand, price fluctuations)
✔ Unique home features (upgrades, square footage, lot size)
Why You Can’t Rely on Online Estimates
While Zillow, Redfin, and other automated tools provide a starting point, they often:
❌ Overvalue or undervalue homes due to outdated or incomplete data
❌ Miss hyper-local factors (school zones, new developments, flood risks)
❌ Lack human insight into Charleston’s fast-moving market
A professional CMA from a local expert eliminates guesswork—ensuring you make confident, informed decisions.
For Sellers:
- Price competitively to attract serious buyers without leaving money on the table
- Stand out in a crowded market with a strategic listing strategy
For Buyers:
- Avoid overpaying by understanding a home’s true worth
- Identify undervalued opportunities with strong investment potential
