Deal analysis guides

These pages explain the offer, the flip projection, the comp weights, the bedroom and bathroom adjustment, the similarity score, and the refinance check with the same rounding the report uses. The dollar figures on them are worked examples so the subtraction can be checked by hand. They are not closed sales. The calculator runs in the browser.

  The five-slice match score from 0 to 1: beds, baths, living area, year built, and lot, including a missing lot.
