By the end of this article you will know how to pull comparable properties from a subject property and how to lay a list out for sales or lease comp analysis.
Pulling comps from a subject property
Open the property you want to comp so its detail panel is showing.
Click View comps.
A panel opens titled "Comparable properties", pre-filled with criteria derived from the subject property, and shows a live count as you adjust them.
Choose View on map to see the comps in context, or View as list to turn them into a saved list.
What DealGround pre-fills
The starting criteria are derived from the subject property:
Sold within the last 24 months
Same property subtype
Building size within ±20%
Year built within ±15 years
NOI within ±20%
Same lease type and tenant, with lease end within ±2 years
Within a 2 mile radius, adjustable to 0.5, 1, 5, or 10 miles
Adjust any of these in the panel. If you get no results, widen the radius first, then relax the size and NOI bands.
Why some comps do not appear
The lease-related criteria — NOI, lease type, and the lease end window — can only be matched against brochure-sourced records. When any of them is active, properties without brochure data drop out. If you want a broader set, clear those three criteria and comp on size, type, and sale history alone.
Laying a list out for comp analysis
Open any saved list and use the view dropdown above the table to switch to a preset column layout:
Sales Comps — address, last sale date and price, tenant, building and land size, NOI, lease term remaining, increases, options, estimated cap rate.
Lease Comps — address, tenant, building and land size, NOI, lease term remaining, lease start and end, increases, options, lease type.
Preset views are read-only. To reorder or hide columns, switch to Your View first. Exports follow whichever view is active, so switch before exporting.
A note for appraisers
Current ownership, historical offering memorandums, and transaction records sit in one place, which is why appraisers tend to work from a saved list in the Sales Comps view and export it. See Saved lists: creating, sharing, and exporting.
