03 Adjusting Comps Filters

Available Filters

Sale date range Controls which sales are included. The default is typically the last 6 months.

• Narrow to 3 months for active markets with frequent sales.
• Expand to 12 months for slow markets or unique properties.
• Shorter ranges yield more relevant data. Longer ranges capture more comps but may include outdated pricing.

Distance radius Controls how far from the subject property comps can be.

• Default is typically 0.5 miles (urban) or 2 miles (suburban).
• Tighten to 0.25 miles for dense urban areas with many sales.
• Expand to 1 mile or more for rural areas with limited transactions.

Property type Filter to a specific property type. Use this when your subject property type differs from neighboring properties.

• Single Family
• Condo
• Multi-Family (2-4 units)
• Townhome

Beds and baths Set minimum and maximum bedroom and bathroom counts.

• Useful when the initial results include properties with very different layouts.
• Setting a range too tight may eliminate useful comps. Start wide and narrow gradually.

Square footage Set minimum and maximum living area.

• Standard filter. Properties within 20% of your subject's square footage are most comparable.
• Loosen this filter in areas with diverse housing stock.

How Filters Update Results

All filters update results live. As you adjust a slider or change a dropdown, the comps table refreshes to show only matching properties.

• Adding a filter removes comps that do not meet the new criteria.
• Removing a filter adds back comps that were previously excluded.
• The total comp count updates to show how many comparables match all active filters.

Balancing Precision and Quantity

Aim for 4 to 8 high-quality comps. Too few (under 3) and your analysis lacks statistical weight. Too many (over 12) and you may be including properties that are not truly comparable.

• Too few results — Widen the date range, increase the distance radius, or remove optional filters.
• Too many irrelevant results — Tighten the distance, narrow the date range, or apply the property type filter.

Saving Filtered Results

When you are satisfied with the filtered set:

• Click "Save to Property" to keep the current filtered comps attached to the property.
• The saved set preserves your filter selections. Future views of the comps use the same filters.
• You can re-filter later without losing the original comp run.
