Comping

Choose the right comp type for your strategy

Understand the comparable-property types available in ReiSearch and select the result set that matches the question you are evaluating.

Available comp views

The comps workspace includes these visible tabs:

  • ReiSearch Maps
  • Sold Comps
  • Co-Living
  • Short Term Rental
  • Mid Term Rental—currently displayed as disabled
  • Long Term Rental
  • Affordable Housing

ReiSearch Maps is a geographic view of the subject and results. The other enabled tabs represent comparison strategies.

Sold Comps

Use Sold Comps when the analysis depends on sale-oriented comparable properties. The default filters focus on sold listings within the previous six months and a maximum 20-mile distance.

Review sold date, price, price per square foot, distance, size, and property characteristics together. A recent nearby sale is not automatically a strong comp if the underlying property differs significantly.

Co-Living

Use Co-Living for shared-housing comparison. Its listing-status choices are adapted to that workflow: Fully Booked, Active, and Coming Soon.

In the underlying comp data, Co-Living maps to the mid-term-rental comparison type. This is separate from the currently disabled Mid Term Rental tab shown in the navigation.

Short Term Rental

Use Short Term Rental when evaluating a short-stay strategy. Rank and filter this set separately from sold or long-term rental results because the investment question and relevant data differ.

Long Term Rental

Use Long Term Rental for traditional rental comparisons. Configure its ranking weights separately under Settings → Rankings if rental-specific criteria should matter differently than Sold Comps.

Affordable Housing

Use Affordable Housing for the affordable-housing comparison workflow. The subject display can include HUD-related bedroom values where that data is available.

Why settings are separated by type

ReiSearch stores ranking configurations by comp type. Distance might deserve a high weight for one analysis, while price per square foot, days on market, or another characteristic may matter more for a different strategy.

Choose the comp type before filtering and ranking. Do not mix conclusions from separate strategies without acknowledging that the data and scoring configuration differ.
