CMA Price Adjustment

Learn how to add price adjustments to your CMAs

Written by Caitlyn Drybrough

AUTOPROP’s CMA Report allows REALTORS® to apply price adjustments to comparable listings for a more refined and accurate pricing analysis.

Price adjustments can be used to account for market conditions, property features, renovations, location differences, and other factors that may impact value.

Follow the steps below to use the Price Adjustments feature within your CMA.


Step 1: Create Your CMA Search

Begin by:

  1. Selecting a property

  2. Clicking the “CMA” option

  3. Entering your search criteria for comparable listings

  4. Clicking “Get Listings” to open the results page

Once your results load, navigate to the “Adjustments” feature.


Step 2: Enable the Adjustments Feature

Turn on the “Adjustments” tab to activate price adjustments for your listings.

Once enabled:

  • An Adjustments column will appear in the listings table

  • Individual listings can now be adjusted directly within the CMA


Step 3: Open Listing Adjustments

To apply an adjustment to a listing:

  1. Locate the listing in the table

  2. Click the pencil icon within the “Adjusted Price” column

This will open the “Listing Adjustments” window.


Step 4: Add Market & Property Adjustments

Within the Listing Adjustments window, you can apply two types of adjustments:

Market Adjustments

Apply a percentage-based adjustment to reflect overall market conditions.

Examples may include:

  • Market appreciation

  • Market decline

  • Time-based pricing changes

Market adjustments are entered as a:

  • Positive (+) percentage

  • Negative (-) percentage

You can also include a description for reference.

Property Characteristic Adjustments

You may also apply individual dollar-value adjustments for specific property characteristics.

Examples may include:

  • Renovations

  • Suite potential

  • Lot characteristics

  • Parking

  • View premiums

  • Condition differences

These adjustments are entered as:

  • Positive (+) dollar values

  • Negative (-) dollar values

Each adjustment can include a custom description.

Once complete:

  1. Save your entries

  2. Click “Update”

  3. Repeat for any additional listings you would like to adjust


Updated Price Guide & Price Ranges

After adjustments are applied:

  • A new Price Guide will automatically populate near the bottom of the results page

  • Adjusted listings will reflect their updated values

  • Price Ranges will automatically recalculate based on:

    • Selected listings

    • Adjusted values

    • Non-adjusted values

This allows you to refine your pricing analysis dynamically as you build your CMA.


Important Notes

  • Adjusted prices will appear in both:

    • Interactive digital CMA presentations

    • PDF CMA exports

  • Please note that we cannot assist you in valuating for individual adjustments.
