Now that is a W-I-D-E image.

That’s a screenshot of my comps for Hope Drive, as seen in my custom list view in ARMLS. If you click on the picture, it will get bigger so you can actually read it.

It’s called ‘Zesidential’. I started building it when I was a ‘pricing algorithm’ for Zillow’s iBuying spree. You’re seeing it in its ideal application: Stacking up comparable properties by their mission-critical features to make at-a-glance apples-to-apples comparisons. It literally creates a table of details, making it easy to select the most comparable/proximate/recent sales.

I’ve talked about some of my other pricing tools. There are others: Custom data exports from ARMLS imported into Google Sheets and calculated and sorted thereupon. That’s how I make The Dirty Thirty, for example.

I can write software, and I used to do things that way. But the customizable tools built into ARMLS coupled with the infinite, intricate elegance of Google Sheets, are giving me everything I need right now.

If you are an ARMLS member, I can share this list view with your broker, who can share it with you. Otherwise, you are stuck with the very limited default list view, when you look at a selection of listings in a 30-day-live-look ARMLS link.

But: At least you know what you’re missing…
