Glossary of Terms
A CMA one liner is a condensed MLS report format that presents each comparable property on a single row, along with summary statistics for the group such as low, high and average price.
Each row typically includes key details such as address, room count, lot size, gross living area, year built, list date, list price, sale date, sale price and days on market. The format prioritizes scanability, making it easy to see the price range supported by the comparable sales and quickly compare properties.
Brokers use a one liner when a client needs a quick overview of market pricing rather than a full analysis. Reviewers can also use it to screen a larger comparable set before examining the full details sheet for individual sales. It provides a useful overview but does not explain why any particular sale achieved its price.
