CMA Search Criteria
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.
Using CMA Search Criteria
- 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.
- At Enter Date Range enter dates if you
want the results to reflect a particular time frame. Leave the To box
blank to include the current date. Entering a date range is optional.
- Select an Area, at least one Municipality, and one or more Communities if available.
(Click to select one option, or CTRL+Click to select more than
one.) NOTE: The system combines Communities for up to two Municipalities.
- 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).

that are key to defining the comparables.
