What is the primary function of a comparative market analysis (CMA) in real estate transactions?

  1. To determine the best marketing strategy for a property

  2. To provide an estimate of a property's market value

  3. To assess potential environmental hazards

  4. To identify zoning issues

  5. To forecast future property values

  6. To calculate property taxes

The correct answer is: To provide an estimate of a property's market value

The primary function of a comparative market analysis (CMA) in real estate transactions is to provide an estimate of a property's market value. A CMA involves analyzing similar properties in the area that are currently on the market, recently sold, or expired listings to determine the most likely price a property will sell for. This information is crucial for both buyers and sellers to make informed decisions about pricing and offers. The other options are incorrect because: - A is incorrect because while a CMA may assist in developing a marketing strategy, its primary function is to determine market value. - C, D, and F are incorrect as they do not relate to the main purpose of a CMA, which is determining the market value of a property. - E is incorrect because a CMA focuses on the current market value of a property rather than forecasting future values.
