Note:

The fields in the Find Comparables window do not support currency (e.g., dollar signs), commas, percent signs, spaces, and special characters. If you enter an unsupported character in a field, the field becomes red.

Sold within last months: Select your desired number of months from the drop-down list.

Sale Price: Enter a sale price range for your comparables search.

+/- Values: Enter your desired values for a variety of comparable search options from Building Area to Improvement %. The value you enter in a field creates a range above and below the value associated with your identified property. For example, if you'd like to run a comparable search using the Year Built field, an entry of 10 for a property built in 1966 creates a range of 1956-1976.

If in the Find Comparables window displays no data for a characteristic of your identified property, such as Building Area, you cannot enter a value in the field. Not all counties will provide every field of data.
