What Makes Up a Comparable Sale?

Comparable sales are the sales prices of similar homes that have sold. Comparable sales are not active listings nor pending sales; although they can be compared, those values do not carry the same weight as a home that has already sold. Comparable sales are used as an example to justify why a buyer doesn't want to pay more than the last guy paid for a similar home.
