What Rentcast Provides
Rentcast pulls sold comparable properties from its database — similar size, similar location, sold recently. It gives you a price estimate with a confidence range. FreeDealCalc displays the comps so you can see the data behind the number, not just accept a black-box output.

Automated ARV tools give you a strong starting point. To refine the estimate: confirm comps are truly similar in condition (renovated, not distressed), adjust for size differences between the subject and comps, and verify recency — comps older than 90 days may not reflect current market conditions. In rapidly moving markets, fresher comps carry more weight.
