How we match comps

Comps are pulled directly from the Space Coast MLS — sold sales only, closed within the last 180 days. We apply hyper-local matching criteria in this order:

  • Same property type (single family, condo, townhouse, etc.)
  • Exact bedroom count
  • Bathrooms within ±0.5
  • Garage spaces within ±1
  • Pool status must match
  • Waterfront status must match
  • HOA must match (HOA community vs. no HOA)
  • Square footage within ±15%
  • Year built within ±15 years

We start with your neighborhood, then expand to 3 miles, then 5 miles until we have enough comps. Sales within the last 90 days are weighted 2× in the median to reflect current market conditions.

This is the same analysis a local agent performs by hand — done automatically on every listing.

Median estimate is based on similar active listings and homes that have sold within the last 180 days in this area, as reported through Brevard MLS. This is not an appraisal or a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Before making an offer, work with a licensed real estate agent to obtain a CMA, or hire a certified real estate appraiser for an independent valuation.
