ARV, or After Repair Value, is the estimated market value of a property after all planned renovations are complete. Real estate investors use ARV to decide how much to pay for a property, how much to budget for repairs, and how much they can borrow with a fix and flip loan.

ARV is most commonly estimated using the Sales Comparison approach: identify recently sold, renovated comparable properties (comps) nearby, adjust for differences in size, condition, and features, and derive a price per square foot to apply to the subject property. OfferMarket's ARV calculator auto-fills property details from an address, finds post-rehab comps, and cross-checks the estimate against the Income and Cost approaches — the same methodology used by our Desktop Appraisal tool.

The 70% rule suggests an investor should pay no more than 70% of a property's ARV minus estimated repair costs, which you can estimate with our Scope of Work calculator. For example, on a property with a $300,000 ARV and $40,000 in repairs, the maximum offer would be about (0.70 × $300,000) − $40,000 = $170,000 — analyze the full deal with our Fix and Flip calculator.
