What is After Repair Value (ARV)?

After Repair Value (ARV) is the estimated market value of a property after all renovations and repairs are completed. It's the cornerstone metric for fix and flip investors to determine profitability.

ARV is calculated by analyzing comparable sales (comps) of similar renovated properties in the same area. Accurate ARV estimation is critical for making profitable investment decisions.

The 70% Rule Formula

Max Offer = (ARV × 70%) - Repair Costs

This rule helps ensure you have enough margin for profit, holding costs, and unexpected expenses.

ARV calculation concept

How to Calculate ARV Accurately

1

Find Comps

Search for 3-5 similar properties sold within 0.5 miles in the last 90 days

2

Match Features

Compare bed/bath count, square footage, lot size, and condition

3

Adjust Values

Add or subtract value for differences in features and condition

4

Average Results

Calculate the average of adjusted comp values for your ARV

ARV Calculation Tips

Location Matters

Comps should be in the same neighborhood or school district. Even a few blocks can make a big difference in value.

Recent Sales Only

Use sales from the last 90 days when possible. In fast-moving markets, even 30-day comps are better.

Be Conservative

When in doubt, use lower ARV estimates. It's better to be pleasantly surprised than to lose money on a deal.
