To calculate ARV:

  1. Find Comparable Sales (Comps): Look for 3-5 properties in the area that are similar in size, condition, and features.


  2. Average the Sale Prices: Add the sale prices and divide by the number of comps. For example, if three similar homes sold for $290,000, $300,000, and $310,000, the average is $300,000.


  3. Adjust for Unique Features: If your property has upgrades, add value. If it’s missing something, subtract value for repairs.


And there you have it—your ARV! This number is crucial for estimating profit and setting your MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer).
