To enter information about the Subject property, you can either

For general guidelines on selecting comparable properties, see the "Select CMA Comparables" web page on CTI’s Help and Tutorials website (at info.ctimls.com).

Pricing tab

Select the CMA Pricing Tab to see summary pricing statistics for the comparable properties, and to replace an automatically calculated Suggested List Price with YOUR "Suggested List Price" for the subject property.
CMA Example Pricing

CTI Navigator automatically computes the "Adjusted Average Price for Solds", the "Adjusted Price Weighted by List to Sale Percent", and the "Percentage of Sale Price to List Price".

Depending on market conditions, either the "Adjusted Avg Price for Solds", or the "Adjusted Price Weighted by List to Sale %" will be displayed initially as the "Suggested List Price".  This initial List Price calculation is intended to be used as a baseline for determining Your suggested list price.  Listing agent should modify this initial value as appropriate for this client and the current market conditions.

Only CMA's that match the values you enter will then display. To modify or remove a filter, left-click on the appropriate filter icon and click the Clear button.

To Add a new client for whom you can assign a CMA, click the "Add Client" button, enter at least a name and email address for your client, and click Save. Then, to associate the client with a CMA, click on the CMA Name in the CMA Manager table to open that CMA. Under the General tab of the CMA, select the Client in the drop-down list of Clients.
