What is a comparative market analysis?

A comparative market analysis is a report prepared by a real estate agent that estimates your home's market value based on recent sales of similar properties in your area. It considers recently sold homes, currently listed homes, and homes that were listed but did not sell, to arrive at a recommended listing price for your home.

The Saskatchewan REALTORS Association benchmark of $444,700 is a useful sanity check on any analysis, but a good one adjusts from actual sold comparables on your street rather than from a city-wide figure. A thorough analysis goes beyond pulling three comparable sales. It adjusts for differences between your home and the comparables, accounts for improvements you have made, considers current market conditions, and provides a pricing strategy rather than just a number. The goal is to price your home to sell within your timeline at the highest achievable price.

Joel Dyck's process is hand-reviewed, meaning he walks through your home in person, documents every feature and improvement, and builds the analysis against the most relevant recent sales in your Saskatoon neighbourhood. The result is a valuation that reflects the home you actually live in, not just the public records. A thorough one draws on six or more sold comparables rather than the three an automated tool tends to surface.
