If you are searching for a 'comparative market analysis' rather than a quick home-value estimate, you already know the difference: you want a real, defensible number built from actual sales — not an algorithm's guess. In a market like Sammamish, where plateau micro-markets, school assignments, lot size, and views swing value block to block, that distinction is worth tens of thousands of dollars at launch.
I am Adriano Tori, founder and Designated Broker of RexMont Real Estate, WA Lic. #21220, with 1,235 five-star reviews and $1B+ closed across 1,200+ transactions. A CMA is the foundation of every listing I take — and I will tell you the realistic high and low, not a flattering number designed to win the listing.

How RexMont builds a Sammamish CMA
A real CMA starts with comparable selection, which is where most of the accuracy lives. RexMont uses recently closed sales most similar to your home in size, age, condition, lot, view, and — critically — school assignment and plateau micro-location, because a Klahanie home and a Sahalee home are not interchangeable comparables. We weight recent sales most heavily, then layer in current active competition and pending sales to capture where the market is moving, not just where it was.
Adjustments come next. Two homes are never identical, so each comparable is adjusted for the differences that buyers actually pay for: square footage, bedroom and bath count, updates and finishes, lot size, view, garage, and condition. The result is a defensible value range rather than a single point — RexMont then identifies the price likely to trigger competition and the price at which the listing would sit, so you choose from informed options.
Strategy is the part an estimate cannot give you. A CMA tells you the number; an experienced broker tells you what to do with it — launch price, prep priorities that move value, timing relative to the spring market, and how to support the price through appraisal. That combination is why a professional CMA consistently outperforms an automated estimate as the basis for a Sammamish listing.
FAQ
Sammamish CMA — FAQs
What is a comparative market analysis (CMA)?
A CMA is a broker's data-driven estimate of your home's market value, built from recently sold comparables, current active competition, and pending sales in your specific area — adjusted for your home's condition, size, lot, view, and finishes. Unlike an automated online estimate, a CMA reflects what buyers are actually paying right now for homes like yours.
How is a CMA different from an online home estimate?
Automated estimates apply a generic algorithm to public data and cannot see your home's condition, updates, view, or micro-location. In a market like Sammamish — where plateau micro-markets, school assignments, and lot premiums vary block to block — they can be off by a wide margin. A CMA is built by a broker who knows the area and has walked comparable homes, so it is the foundation for a launch price that actually performs.
Is a CMA the same as an appraisal?
No. An appraisal is a licensed appraiser's independent opinion, usually ordered by a lender after a home is under contract. A CMA is a broker's pre-listing pricing analysis used to set your launch strategy. Both rely on comparables, but they serve different stages — RexMont also builds the support an appraiser needs so a strong sale price survives the appraisal.
How much does a CMA cost in Sammamish?
RexMont provides a complimentary, no-obligation CMA for Sammamish sellers. It is an agent-prepared analysis, not an automated number, and comes with a pricing range and the strategy behind it.
How accurate is a CMA for pricing my Sammamish home?
A well-built CMA is the most accurate pre-listing tool available because it uses real, recent sales and current competition rather than an algorithm. Accuracy depends on the quality of comparable selection and local knowledge — which is exactly where an experienced Sammamish broker adds value over a generic estimate.
