Calculate After Repair Value
What is After Repair Value?
An after repair value (ARV) — or estimated future value — is how much a property is worth after making improvements or renovations.
There are several ways to calculate ARV. One method is multiplying the average price per square foot of comparable properties. Another method is to look at similarities between your home and local properties that have recently sold. Some features you can examine to determine your property’s ARV include:
- Condition: Include any upgrades, finishes, and additional features on the comparable property.
- Age: Ideally, the property you are comparing has an age difference between five to 10 years.
- Size: The square footage of the comparable home should be within 250 square feet of the size of your property.
- Construction and style: You should compare the craftsmanship of the two properties.
- Location: The comparable property should be within the same neighborhood or subdivision.
Most investors try to find at least three to six comparable properties to create an accurate estimate. After finding acceptable properties, you will average their sales price to determine the ARV of your own property.
Our proprietary Investor's Edge software gives you access to over 160 million property records to make it easy to find comparable properties in your area. Our software will also help you accurately calculate the repair value to make investing more straightforward for beginners and experts.

What is ARV (After Repair Value) used For?
Figuring out an accurate after repair value, or ARV, on your deal is the make-or-break skill for real estate investors.
Once you have potential sellers reaching out to you, then it’s time to determine if any of those deals are worth pursuing.
An accurate ARV helps you know what you can offer on the deal and still make a profit.
Many house flippers also use ARV to estimate the future price of a home as well as buy the property for a discount and secure funding for renovations. With an ARV, many flippers can purchase properties at lower prices to alleviate some of the financial risks.
By using an ARV to estimate profits, if extra costs occur during the renovation process, it will not result in the investor losing money on their investment.

That’s why we’re conservative with valuing properties. Our typical process is to find three recently sold comparable properties and three on-market comparable listings. Then, we take the lowest one.
