You define the criteria for comparables in the Search Criteria function in the CMA.
You choose your search criteria. TorontoMLS searches for listings that meet your criteria, then displays the results for you to review. You choose which listings you want to include in the CMA presentation.
If you want to include listings that may not be found through the search, you can pre-specify these to be included with your search results. They appear at the top of the search results list and are automatically selected by TMLS.
Alternatively, you may bypass the search feature entirely and use only your specified listings as your Comparables.
To Search for Comparables for the
CMA
At Select the Statuses you want to include in your CMA, click to include Available, Sold, Leased and/or Expired. You must choose at least one status.
At Enter Price Range enter the dollar values (no dollar signs or commas). These fields are optional.

Click Enter/Edit Additional Search Criteria if you want to further refine your search. TMLS displays additional search fields. Enter your search text (see Entering Search Criteria). It is not necessary to enter data for each field; specify only the fields that are key to defining the comparables. Click Prev to return to the CMA Search Criteria page.
