Suggested Comps Overview

On the Comp Selection page, there is blue 'Show Suggested’ text underneath Select Comps. When selected, HouseCanary will populate comp properties for you to review.

HouseCanary suggests comps by providing properties with the highest Similarity (i.e. least amount of predicted gross adjustments to the subject property) while taking into account any filters you have defined.

** If any attribute that has an impact on value is updated, HouseCanary will have new comp suggestions based on the new value(s).

For example, if you inspect the property and realize the property's GLA is twice the size found onMLS/Public Record, our Similarity Scores and Comp Suggestions will re-calibrate once you update the data. After updating the GLA, clicking ‘Show Suggested’ again will have new suggestions.

Adding Comps Manually

To manually add a non-listed comp, you must be on the Comp Selection screen. This screen will be the first tab on the left hand side of the page:

  • Use the Add a Comp button on the right hand side of the screen to manually add a property to your comparables

** Depending on the Listing Status selected, you may be required to enter additional information such as the Comps Expired Price and Date.
