The comps selector is where you review the comparable sales behind a property’s value and decide which ones count. It opens from the Comps tile in a property’s Financial Analysis and starts with every qualified comp already selected, so your job is to remove the sales you disagree with and add any the system missed.
Key things to know
  • The selector opens in Map view by default; switch to Table with the toggle in the top corner.
  • Every qualified comp starts selected. Toggling Use comp off excludes a sale; the value, grade, and stats update live as you change the selection.
  • You need at least your org’s minimum comp count selected for a value to calculate; the header shows “min N” when you are below it.
  • Closing with unsaved edits prompts Discard unsaved changes? so toggles and added comps are never silently lost.
1

Open the comps view

In the property’s Financial Analysis, click the Comps tile. It shows the current value, grade, and discount, or “Not calculated” if no value exists yet.
2

Read the header stats

The stats bar at the top shows the live result of your current selection:

Include or exclude comps

On the Map, click a marker to open its popup card and toggle Use comp. Markers are color-coded for included vs excluded, and the map keeps your current zoom and position when you toggle. On the Table, use the checkboxes; excluded rows appear dimmed. Select all and Clear all act on the whole pool, and on the map you can also drag a rectangle or draw a custom shape to select comps by area.

Review comp details

Each comp shows address, beds, baths, square footage, sale price, sale date, price per square foot, distance, similarity, and the tier it qualified under. Table columns are sortable and resizable, and each comp links out with View on Zillow. In states where sale prices are not public record (for example Texas), a comp’s price carries an Estimated tag - it is the data provider’s best estimate, not the recorded amount.
5

Expand the search with Filters (optional)

If a property is unusual for its area (much larger, or an uncommon bedroom count) the pool can be thin. Click Filters to loosen the match on Size difference, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, and Distance. The controls start at your org’s tier settings and only widen - you can expand the search but not tighten it. New matches appear on the map and table marked Expanded and start excluded, so you choose which of the weaker comps to include. Expanded comps are lower quality, so treat the resulting value with more caution. Click Reset to return to your tier settings.
6

Add a comp (optional)

Click Add Comp and enter the address, city, state, ZIP, sale price, sale date, beds, baths, and square footage for a sale you know about. If the sale does not pass your org’s tier rules, ProPilot warns you and asks before adding it with Add Anyway.
7

Recalculate (optional)

The recalculate button refreshes the candidate pool from the latest sales data using your org’s current tier settings. Use it after changing comps settings or when the data looks stale.
8

Save your selection

For properties in your pipeline, click Apply Comps to save immediately. For Deal Hub or Lookup properties not yet saved, click Save Comps to keep a local draft - it becomes permanent when you save the property with Save to Edit.

Map view vs Table view

Both views edit the same selection - switching views never loses your changes.

Common questions

You are likely below the minimum comp count. The header shows “min N” when too few comps are selected; include more comps or add manual ones until you reach the minimum.
The value, grade, discount, and median price per square foot all recalculate live from the current selection. Nothing is saved until you click Apply Comps or Save Comps.
Manual comps are checked against the same tier rules as automatic ones (distance, size, beds/baths, sale age). If your comp fails those checks you can still force it in with Add Anyway, but expect it to lower the grade.
Any difference from the last saved state triggers the prompt: a Use comp toggle, a manual comp you added, or a select/clear action. Choose Cancel to go back and save.
Recalculate rebuilds the candidate pool from the latest data and current settings, so comps that no longer qualify can drop out. Save your selection first if you want to compare before and after.
Some counties do not publish sale prices in public records, most often in Texas, Utah, Missouri, and a few other states. For sales there, the price shown is the data provider’s estimate, marked Estimated on the map card and Est. in the table. The real amount the buyer paid may differ, so weigh those comps accordingly. When any of the comps behind a property’s value is estimated, the Comps tile in Financial Analysis also shows an Est. sale prices tag.
Use Filters to expand the search. Loosen Size difference, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, or Distance to surface more sales, which appear marked Expanded. They are weaker matches and start excluded, so review and include only the ones that make sense. Distance is limited to nearby ZIP codes. If you still cannot find a good match, add the sale you know about with Add Comp.

​
Limitations

  • The selector shows the qualified candidate pool, not every sale in the area. Sales that fail every tier are not listed; use Filters to expand the search, or add them manually if you want them considered.
  • Filters only relaxes the match within nearby ZIP codes and always keeps the same property type. Reopening the selector starts back at your tier settings, so re-expand if you want to edit a saved selection that used expanded comps.
  • Comp markers need valid coordinates; a manually added comp at an address that cannot be located may not appear on the map even though it counts in the table.
  • On unsaved Deal Hub and Lookup properties, drafts live in your browser session until the property is saved to the pipeline.
