1 mile but also remember that they need to be on the same side of a major avenue, like, if a house is 8 blocks away but on the other side of Hempstead Turnpike, they won't use it.

When my house was appraised for my mortgage lender, they used 3 houses as comps and all were within a quarter-mile of my house.

Re: Comps? Whats the radius?

I will give you a true appraisal answer since I was one for a number of years.

Standard answer would be under 1 mile. Lenders want closer today.

It changes if you home meets certain criteria.

Large, on the water, over 1 acre of property, bulk head can not find comps that match the property.
