If you need additional or specialized criteria for locating comparable properties, the Custom Comparables search provides additional search parameters to fine-tune your results.
Once you’ve searched your subject property, click on Custom Comparables in the blue bar.
Choose between five to seven criteria within any section. This will optimize the system to produce an accurate, reliable report.
You can add search criteria based on location, value or property characteristics. For example, you may want to add a specific address to include in your query and/or a search radius of up to 10 miles from your subject property in the Search by Location section.
You may also want to include a minimum or maximum home sale price and/or a last sale date from the Search by Property Value section. You can check the Exclude Multi-Parcel Sales boxso that you are not locating sales where several parcels were part of one sales transaction.
Additionally, in order to eliminate quitclaim deeds or a transfer of name with a low or no sales price, you will always want to include a minimum sales price in your query so that you can ensure that your report will produce accurate comparable information. You do not need to enter a maximum sales price, but you can if you are seeking comparables in a specific price range.
Each search criteria section has a green SUBMIT button. After you have entered your search criteria for each section, you only need to click submit once in either section.
Lastly, you may want to add various Property Characteristics. You can choose from many options, such as a square footage range under Total Building Sq. Ft., an Improvement Type or any other Extra Features the property may have. Just remember to select no more than five to seven options for best results.
You can save your search results to review them at a later time. Just click SAVE RESULTS in the upper right corner of the results page and name your search.
The saved results can be found on the main Custom Comparables tab of any property report.
From the search results page you can either click on Comparables Report at the bottom of the results list or choose to remove certain properties from the list before generating your report. Check the box to the left of the Property Address column to select all and click on Keep Checked. Or, select the properties you do not wish to appear on your report and select Remove Checked.
When you are satisfied with your list, click Comparables Report, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Email, Save PDF or Print Page.
