ARV calculator.
After repair value, from comps.
After repair value is what the house sells for once the work is finished — and it is not a number you guess. This after repair value estimator uses the method an appraiser starts with: take sold comparables, adjust each one toward your subject, reduce them to dollars per square foot, and apply the average to the square footage you are buying. Every step is printed so you can check it against your own comps instead of trusting a black box.
Every figure above is an ESTIMATE built from the comps you typed. An appraiser weighs far more than dollars per square foot — location and street, lot size, age, layout, and true condition — so treat this as a starting point for your own underwriting, not a valuation.
One number.
Every decision.
What ARV decides.
Maximum offer, rehab budget, lender proceeds, and profit all hang off after repair value. A flip priced on a $250,000 ARV that appraises at $225,000 loses the entire margin. The full method walkthrough covers the judgement calls this form cannot make for you. Underwrite the number you can defend to a lender, not the one that makes the spreadsheet look good.
Picking real comps.
Same submarket — ideally the same few streets, never across a school boundary or a highway. Sold in roughly the last six months. Similar size, age, bed and bath count, and the finish level your rehab will actually reach. Three tight comps beat six loose ones: every mile and every month you stretch is another adjustment you are guessing at.
The expensive mistake.
Using active list prices, or the number the deal needs to work. Asking prices are opinions; only closed sales are evidence. Padding ARV to force a spread is the first domino in most failed BRRRR deals — the appraisal comes back low, the refinance leaves cash trapped, and the shortfall was decided months earlier on this one line.
Before you offer.
Comps and ARV on every listing.
Verleon AI pulls comparable sales and computes ARV on listings in the deal feed, then scores each one against your buy box across all 50 states — so the estimate arrives with the listing instead of costing you an evening of research. Once you have an ARV, price the rest of the project with the fix and flip calculator.
