What is ARV and why does it matter?

ARV stands for After Repair Value, the estimated market value of a property after all renovations are complete. It is the single most important number in any fix-and-flip or BRRRR deal because it determines your maximum offer, expected profit, and whether a deal is worth pursuing at all.

How does ARV Analyzer calculate ARV?

We pull recently sold comparable properties from multiple data sources (Zillow, Redfin, Google Maps), then score each comp for similarity based on square footage, bed/bath count, lot size, year built, distance, and sale recency. The ARV is computed as a weighted median of the adjusted comp values, giving more influence to the most similar properties.

How accurate is the AI-generated ARV?

Our confidence score tells you exactly how reliable the estimate is. With 5 or more strong comps within 0.5 miles and sold in the last 90 days, accuracy is typically within 3-5% of appraised value. Fewer comps or rural areas may produce wider ranges, which the tool clearly communicates.

Is the ARV Calculator really free?

Yes. Every ARV Analyzer account includes 10 free deal analyses for life. Each analysis includes the full ARV calculation with comp details, rehab estimates, MAO, deal scoring, and exit strategies. No credit card required.

What Is ARV (After Repair Value)?

ARV is the estimated market value of a property after all planned renovations are complete. It is the foundation of every investment calculation: your maximum allowable offer (MAO), expected profit, and whether a deal pencils out at all.

MAO

ARV drives your Maximum Allowable Offer using the 70% rule

Profit

An accurate ARV means an accurate profit projection

Risk

Overestimating ARV is the #1 reason investors lose money on flips

How Our AI Calculates ARV

Three steps, under 60 seconds. No spreadsheets, no manual comp pulling.

Comp Discovery

We aggregate recently sold properties from Zillow, Redfin, and Google Maps within a configurable radius of your subject property. Only closed sales from the last 6 months are considered.

Similarity Scoring

Each comp is scored on a 0-100 similarity scale based on square footage (+/-20%), bedroom and bathroom count, lot size, year built, distance from subject, and how recently it sold. Higher scores mean more influence on the final ARV.

Weighted Median Calculation

Instead of a simple average (which outliers can skew), we compute a weighted median where the most similar comps carry the most weight. The result is a robust ARV estimate, a confidence percentage, and a low-to-high value range.

Why Getting ARV Right Matters

Overestimate ARV

You overpay for the property, rehab eats into nonexistent margin, and you sell at a loss or hold longer than planned.

Accurate ARV

Your MAO is dialed in, rehab budget is realistic, and your profit projection holds up at closing.

Underestimate ARV

You pass on profitable deals because the numbers look too tight. Lost opportunities add up over time.

Manual Comping

Pulling comps by hand takes 2-3 hours per deal and is prone to cherry-picking bias. Our AI eliminates both problems.
