# How to Change Which Sales Home Values Compares

How to change which nearby sales Home Values uses to estimate a home's value: distance, how recent, size, bedrooms, bathrooms and price.

Home Values estimates a home's value from similar homes that sold nearby. You choose what counts as "similar", so the estimates fit your market.

## Change the settings

Open the menu in the top left and go to **Site Tools** > **Home Valuation** > **Customize & Settings**. Open the **Filters** tab.

![The Home Values Filters tab](https://2039430885-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fq65vhH2v4k5rpDOha9Vm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c95d6cacb6ca6a7bc9d2a3b7e9e466487c867c3e%2Fhv-filters-1-settings.png?alt=media)

* **Search radius:** how far away, in miles, a sale can be.
* **Limit result count:** the most sales it uses.
* **The sale transaction occurred:** how many months back a sale can be.
* **The property size:** how much bigger or smaller, in square feet, a home can be.
* **Bedrooms** and **Bathrooms:** how many more or fewer it can have.
* **Filter by price for Real Properties** and **for Condos:** click **Add Row** to set price ranges.

Click **Update** on the right to save.

## Tips

* In busy areas with lots of sales, a small radius and recent sales give the closest match.
* In rural areas, a bigger radius and a longer time period help find enough sales.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>Can the report show the list of sales it used?</summary>

No. The report shows the estimated value range, not the sales behind it. Changing the filters doesn't add them.

<details>

<summary>Some addresses say the value can't be calculated.</summary>

There weren't enough matching sales. Try a bigger **Search radius** or a longer time period. The visitor can still ask you for a personal report.
