Comparison Reports

A comparison report lines two to five properties up against each other side by side — so you can stop trying to hold the differences in your head and see them on the page. Each comparison lives at its own shareable URL under /comparison-reports/<id>.

What's on the page

Header. The generation date, a print button, and a share button.
Side-by-side columns. One column per property. Rows include the address, overall RAAM score, each of the seven factor sub-scores, and the listing's key facts (price, beds, baths, living area, commute time to your profile's destination).
Requirements check. A green-check / red-X grid showing which of your stated must-haves each property meets or misses.
Trade-offs. A short written breakdown of where the properties genuinely differ and which profile weight is pulling each direction.
Recommendation. A strategic take — which property best fits your stated profile, and why — ending with an opinion rather than a shrug.

How to generate one

Comparison is a paid feature on the Professional tier. The pricing cards on Pricing has the current plan details.

Open Compare from your Dashboard.
Paste two to five Zillow URLs into the numbered inputs.
Run the comparison. The tool scrapes each listing and scores it against your profile — typically 30 to 90 seconds.
You land on the shareable /comparison-reports/<id> URL, which you can then send, print, or save.

You don't need to pre-score the properties. Compare does that work inside the flow.

When to use it

Comparison reports shine when you're down to two or three real contenders in the same price band. At that stage a gut-feel pick is unreliable and the side-by-side columns force you to name exactly what each property gives up versus the others.

They're less useful for triage across a dozen options — at that stage, score properties individually and scan your Dashboard or a Wishlist.

A worked example

You're deciding between three Austin homes. RAAM scores them 78, 74, and 71 — close enough that the top-line doesn't settle it. A comparison report shows the 78 leading on School Quality and Value for Money, the 74 leading on Lot Size and Commute, the 71 leading on Community Diversity. Your requirements check flags that the 71 misses your minimum beds. Now the decision reduces to "78 for schools, or 74 for lot and commute" — the 71 drops out automatically. The recommendation line gives you a second opinion on the remaining two.

Common questions

Why only Zillow URLs? Zillow exposes the listing data the tool needs most consistently. Redfin and MLS integrations are on the roadmap.
What happens if one URL fails? The tool reports which one failed and lets you retry with a replacement.
Can I unpublish a comparison report? Comparison report URLs are noindex by default so they won't appear in search results, but if you need a specific one taken down, contact us.
Does the recommendation reflect things beyond my profile? It respects your profile's weights. Requirements-check misses are flagged but don't auto-disqualify — you decide.
