An appraisal is what the bank would be willing to loan for a house. A CMA is generally less. That's what a buyer will be willing to pay. I'm presenting more offers in person than ever before. I don't trust the other agents to tell the sellers the true market picture.

Bruce, I'll put my CMA info up against an apprasial anytime as far as nailing the likely sales price. I like to go to the MLS occasionally and study a few examples of solds. I look at the list price vs sold price vs tax record market valuation. Obviously we accept that the market value is the price it sold for.
