Investor comparables are a unique feature in Privy that help identify properties with a proven history of investor activity. These comps appear in blue on the LiveCMA™ and the Privy map, distinguishing them from standard comparable sales.


Why Are Investor Comparables Important?

Investor comparables allow you to:

  • Validate potential deals by ensuring the property meets your investment criteria.

  • Analyze past fix and flip projects to understand resale values and market trends.

  • Support ARV calculations by confirming that similar properties have sold at profitable margins.


How Privy Identifies Investor Comparables

If you search for properties using % of ARV or spread, Privy ensures that each flagged deal has at least one investor comp supporting your criteria.

For example:

  • If you set a 70% ARV deal search and find a property listed at $140K, it must have at least one comp that sold above $200K ($140K ÷ 0.7 = $200K) to be considered an investor comparable.

  • Any comps meeting this threshold are marked in blue to highlight their relevance to investor-driven deals.

By focusing on investor comparables, you can quickly identify properties that align with successful investment strategies and make data-driven decisions.
