How to Calculate After Repair Value (ARV)

After Repair Value (ARV) is the estimated market value of a property after all renovations and repairs are completed. Accurate ARV calculation is critical for making profitable real estate investment decisions.

1Finding Comparable Sales (Comps)

The most reliable way to estimate ARV is by analyzing recent sales of similar properties. Look for homes sold within the last 3-6 months, within 0.5 miles, with similar square footage (±200 sqft), same bedroom/bathroom count, and similar condition post-renovation.

2Price Per Square Foot Method

Calculate the average price per square foot of your comps, then multiply by your subject property's square footage. Adjust for unique features like pools, garages, or lot size differences.

ARV = Avg Price/SqFt of Comps × Subject Property SqFt

3Common ARV Mistakes to Avoid

Don't use asking prices instead of sold prices. Avoid comps that are too old (6+ months) or too far away. Don't overestimate the impact of your renovations. Always be conservative—overestimating ARV is the #1 cause of failed flips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARV in real estate?

ARV (After Repair Value) is the estimated market value of a property after renovations are complete. It is the cornerstone metric for flippers and BRRRR investors to determine if a deal is profitable.

How do I find comparable sales?

Use sold properties within 0.5 miles, sold in the last 6 months, with similar bed/bath count and within 200 sqft. Adjust for differences in condition, updates, and features.

How accurate are online home value estimates?

Automated valuations (like Zillow Zestimates) can be off by 10-20% or more. Always verify with actual sold comps and, ideally, an appraisal for significant investments.
