How to Calculate ARV (After Repair Value) for Real Estate
Our after repair value calculator provides a preliminary estimate from available property and comparable-sale information:
- Find Comparable Sales: Pulls recently sold properties (≤6 months) within 0.5 mile
- Apply Adjustments: Adjusts for square footage, bed/bath count, garage, lot size, and condition
- Weight by Similarity: Weights same-street and same-subdivision comps higher
- Calculate ARV: Returns a weighted estimate plus a Low, Base, and High value range
- Validate: Cross-references with active listings and AVM data to flag outliers
This is the same methodology behind the 70% rule and MAO (maximum allowable offer) used by experienced flippers — automated and free.
ARV Calculator for Fix and Flip & Wholesale Deals
The accuracy of your ARV directly determines whether your fix-and-flip or wholesale deal is profitable. Use these best practices:
- Recent Comps Only: Sales within the last 3–6 months matter most
- Stay Local: Stick to comps within 0.5 mile of the subject (or same subdivision)
- Match the Renovation Tier: Don't compare a gut-rehab subject to lipstick-flip comps
- Account for Days on Market: Long DOM signals weak demand and a market haircut
- Use Multiple Sources: Cross-reference Zillow, Realie, MLS, and Redfin data
The public free experience shows one ARV range without contact details. Providing an email unlocks a limited aggregate market summary; comparable-level details and full property analysis require a paid plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ARV in real estate?
ARV stands for After Repair Value — the estimated market value of a property AFTER all renovations are complete. It's the foundation of every fix-and-flip, BRRRR, and wholesale deal.
How do you calculate ARV?
ARV is calculated by analyzing recently sold comparable properties (comps) within 0.5 mile, similar in size, beds, baths, and renovation tier. Adjust each comp for differences, then average the adjusted values to get the ARV.
How accurate is this free ARV calculator?
Accuracy depends on the availability and similarity of comparable property data. DealAnalyzerAI provides a Low, Base, and High estimate so you can review the range, inspect the selected comps, and independently verify important figures before making an offer.
Is this ARV calculator really free?
The public experience provides one ARV range without contact details. An email unlocks a limited aggregate market summary, not a full analysis or individual comparable-sale details. Paid plans include 20 full analyses/month for Starter ($19), 50 for Growth ($37), or 300 for Pro ($97). White Label is a $50/month add-on.
What's the difference between ARV and current market value?
Current market value reflects the property in its present (often distressed) condition. ARV is the projected value AFTER renovations bring it up to retail finish quality. The gap between them is your equity capture.
