Navigating to and from Comp selection views

Once you look up a property and click “Select Comps,” you’ll be taken to comp selection view. This is where you can explore active, pending, and sold comparables for this property. Property Explorer auto-selects comps. If you do not select your own sales comps, the auto-selected comps will be included in PDF reports. Comps that you select will override the auto-selected comps.

Clicking “Rental Report” on the top left of the property report view takes you to the rental report page where you can then click rental comp selection and explore rental comparables for the subject property. Rental comp selection in Property Explorer works exactly like sales comp selection.

Click on the "X" icon on the top right corner to return to property report view.

Browse comparable properties on the map
​​The map in comp selection view shows comparable properties in the immediate area around the subject property. Read more about using maps in Property Explorer.

Explore comp selection filters

You'll find filters on the left side of the map, This will allow you to choose between multiple filters, including number of beds, baths, sq ft, and more. Click the “Filters” button to reveal a wider menu of comp search filters. Comp filters in Property Explorer include a variety of standard property details.

Here’s more to know about our filters:

Saved Filters applied

If you have previously used filters, you will see the saved filters toward the top of the filters view screen. Applied filters will be marked with a grey outline (shown below). You can click "x" to remove those saved filters.
​

Choose distance or draw a custom area

Choose a radius of a half mile, one, two, or three miles from the subject property, or draw your own custom area on the map to reflect the most representative local market. You can toggle filters and click on "distance" to adjust the distance from the subject property (example 1). You can also draw a custom area by clicking distance, and then clicking the "Draw Custom Area" Icon (example 2 shows custom area radius).

Filter by Similarity Score

One of our most helpful filters is the HouseCanary Similarity Score, our proprietary measure of comp similarity. The Similarity Score regression model considers a wide variety of property details, applies adjustments as needed, and generates a score from 0 to 100 for each potential comp’s similarity to the subject.

Save these filters for future reports

Click on the heart icon (shown below) to save/create a custom filter that you can use every time you run a Property Explorer report. It will allow you to name this "custom filter".
