How Property Scan builds a CMA in Wisconsin
You send the address. By email to comps@propertyscan.ai, on the website, or in Claude or ChatGPT, for a home in any of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
It pulls the recorded sales nearby. In Wisconsin, each sale goes on file with the Department of Revenue.
It picks the comps and adjusts each one. For market time it uses the FHFA House Price Index for Wisconsin, which rose 4.8% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).
You get a client-ready PDF. Your name, photo and brokerage go on it as “Prepared by”, every adjustment is shown, and you can swap any comp.
Is Wisconsin a non-disclosure state?
No. Wisconsin sale prices are public record. Before a deed can be recorded with the register of deeds, the parties must file an electronic Real Estate Transfer Return (eRETR) with the Department of Revenue showing the price, and the seller pays the transfer fee on it. DOR lets the public search this data and download historical return data.
