The ARV that made a $115K profit possible — and how we validated it

On this Northern Virginia hoarder house, the ARV question was unusual — we weren't doing a full renovation, so the "after repair value" was really the as-is resale value to a renovating buyer. Comps for similar distressed properties in the zip code showed $320-360K. Fully renovated comps were $360-400K. We listed at $349K — above distressed comps, below renovated comps. It sold in days. The ARV discipline was knowing we didn't need full renovation comps — just enough cushion to attract a buyer who could see the upside. Freddie scored it 100/100.

Freddie scored it 100/100. ARV discipline — knowing exactly what the market will bear — is the difference between a good deal and a great one.

"ARV lesson: your after repair value is only as good as your comps. Know whether you're comparing to distressed sales, renovated sales, or something in between — the difference can be $30-50K."

After Repair Value FAQ

What is after repair value (ARV)?

ARV is the estimated market value of a property after all planned renovations are complete. It's the foundation of every fix and flip analysis — your purchase price, rehab budget, and exit strategy all flow from ARV.

How do I calculate after repair value?

ARV is determined by analyzing comparable sales (comps) — recently sold properties similar in size, condition, and location to your subject property post-renovation. Look for sales within 0.5 miles, within 90 days, within 20% of square footage.

What is a good ARV cushion on a flip?

Most investors want to buy at 65-75% of ARV all-in (purchase + rehab). A 25-35% ARV cushion protects you if the market softens or rehab runs over. Freddie calculates your ARV cushion and grades it in the deal score.

How accurate are ARV estimates?

ARV accuracy depends on comp quality. In active suburban markets with consistent sales, ARV estimates are typically within 5-10%. In rural or low-turnover markets with few comps, the range widens. Freddie flags low-comp confidence in the analysis.

What is the difference between ARV and as-is value?

As-is value is what the property is worth in its current condition. ARV is the projected value after renovation. The gap between the two is your rehab upside — the source of flip profit and BRRRR equity.

Can Freddie pull ARV comps for my property?

Yes. Freddie uses Rentcast and integrated market data to pull comparable sales in your area. Describe your property and target market, and Freddie will help you arrive at a defensible ARV estimate.
