2. How much is my house worth? CMA

When they ask, “How’s the market?”

“I want to participate, show me how I can/why I should?” They know the market is bad… But how is it good for them?

Quartile 1: Most expensive 25% of propertiesQuartile 2: Top Middle 25%Quartile 3: Bottom Middle 25%Quartile 4: Least expensive 25% of properties

Example: 80 homes for sale in a market (city or zip code) 4 "quartiles" (groups) each have 20

properties based on individual property prices.

Allows for market definition by price, not just geography
