Offer guideline assumptions

An adjustable screening assumption, not a recommended offer.

Any closing, holding, selling, or financing costs you want to subtract beyond the percentage buffer. Avoid counting them twice.

How the math works.

Calculations use unrounded numbers. Displayed results are rounded.
MeasureFormula
Each comparable’s price per square footComparable sale price ÷ comparable living area
Estimated ARVMean of the three comparable prices per sq ft × subject living area
Comparable-implied rangeLowest and highest comp price per sq ft × subject living area
Offer guidelineEstimated ARV × selected percentage − rehab − additional cost allowance
  • Use recently sold, renovated comparables with similar location, size, condition, and property type. All three comps are equally weighted. The calculator does not fetch sales or adjust for differences automatically.
  • The range reflects only the lowest and highest prices per square foot entered; it is not a statistical confidence interval or an appraisal. Unusual comps can distort the result.
  • The 70% starting value is a screening convention, not a universal rule. Adjust the percentage and cost allowance for your own assumptions. The remaining percentage is a buffer, not a calculated profit.

Common questions

Is ARV the purchase price plus renovation costs?

No. ARV estimates what the renovated property could sell for, based on comparable sales. Renovation costs do not necessarily increase market value dollar for dollar.

Does changing the rehab budget change ARV?

Not in this calculator. Comparable sales determine the ARV estimate. Rehab changes the offer guideline, which is a separate calculation.

What if the offer guideline is negative?

Your rehab and additional costs exceed the selected share of estimated ARV. No positive purchase price fits those inputs. Review your assumptions rather than treating the result as an offer recommendation.

Keep checking the deal.
