Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seller preparing to list, or a seasoned investor evaluating rental income potential, we help you set realistic price expectations and make informed decisions with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (Real Estate Market Analysis)

What is a comparative market analysis (CMA)?
A CMA is a detailed review of properties similar to yours that have recently sold, are active, or are pending. It uses local MLS data to help estimate current market value based on real East Bay real estate activity.

How is a market analysis different from a home appraisal?
A market analysis is an expert real estate valuation based on recent sales and neighborhood trends. An appraisal is a formal, licensed valuation report often required by lenders. Our CMA gives you real-world pricing context for buying or selling.

Will I pay upfront for this valuation?
No — our valuation service is provided with no upfront cost to you if you are under contract, with payment handled at the close of escrow.

Can this help with investment properties?
Absolutely — our market analysis considers rental market trends and resale value, giving investors data they can trust when evaluating income property or multi-unit homes.
