1. REAL ESTATE AGENTS provide FREE market analysis as part of their service. An experienced and knowledgeable Orange County real estate agent knows the local market. He/she will gather all the latest information and present it to you in an easy to read format. The information is called a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis). It should be customized to fit your specific home and community.

PROS: It's FREE
CONS: A CMA is only as accurate as the information used to generate it.  Some real estate agents may inflate your properties estimated property value and suggested asking price in order to get your business.  Others may not know the current market conditions and suggest a lower price.  Then you loose!
