# View & Adjust Comps

> Open the comps selector, read the header stats, include or exclude sales on the map or table, add manual comps, recalculate, and save.

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](/features/property-details/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.

<Info>
  **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.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the header stats">
    The stats bar at the top shows the live result of your current selection:

    | Stat               | Meaning                                                                                      |
    | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Comps**          | The calculated value from the currently selected comps.                                      |
    | Comp count pill    | How many comps are selected. Shows "min N" in amber when you are below the required minimum. |
    | Grade pill         | Quality grade from **Excellent** to **Poor**, based on the tiers of the selected comps.      |
    | **Discount**       | How the live value compares to the list price, as a percentage.                              |
    | **Median \$/sqft** | Median price per square foot across the selected comps.                                      |
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Map view vs Table view

| View      | Best for                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Map**   | Judging location quality at a glance: which side of a main road, distance from the subject, clustering. Popup cards show the comp's key details and the **Use comp** toggle without leaving the map. |
| **Table** | Scanning and sorting many comps by price, date, size, distance, similarity, or tier, and bulk-checking rows quickly.                                                                                 |

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

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why can't I save my selection?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did the value change as soon as I toggled a comp?">
    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**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The manual comp I added was rejected - why?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I closed the selector and got a discard prompt. What was unsaved?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Recalculate erase my manual selection?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does a comp's price say Estimated?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="There are too few comps for this property. What can I do?">
    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**.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## 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.
