Comps

What Comps does

Comps USA is a subscription-based property data platform serving real estate professionals in the New York market. The company provides sales history, assessment records, comparables, block/lot maps, tax maps, flood maps, aerial imagery, and CMA/MC 1004 report generation for the five boroughs of New York City plus Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, and Putnam counties. Customers include licensed appraisers, real estate brokers, mortgage companies, banks, and legal professionals who require accurate, locally curated data for valuations, lending, and due diligence. The company's stated differentiator is meticulous data accuracy: records are reviewed and corrected for issues such as mismatched lot numbers and incomplete entries, addressing the density and regulatory complexity of the New York market that nationwide generic providers struggle to match.

The product is delivered through two channels: a web-based platform accessible from any browser or smartphone, and a Windows desktop application (Version 4.20) that requires an active subscription to run. Both share the same underlying dataset with minor interface differences in street and tax map functionality. Data exports are available in CSV, DBF, and XLS formats, and the platform integrates with Google Maps for location visualization. The Comps USA brand carries forward nearly four decades of operating history from predecessor Comps Inc., founded by Keith Larsen in the late 1980s as a pioneer in New York real estate data; the company now operates under new ownership that has continued the legacy while investing in product and tooling.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue with annual billing cadence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective customers register online and activate subscriptions by phone during business hours (9am-4:30pm EST, Monday-Friday). Distribution is direct-to-customer through the company website (compsusa.com) and the desktop application download page, with the company claiming "hundreds of companies already subscribed" and a stated focus on the 11-county New York market. There is no public API, no disclosed integrations beyond Google Maps, no AI/ML features, no funding rounds, and no partnerships referenced in available materials.

Broad incumbents

• CoStar Group: Largest commercial real estate information and analytics platform, with growing residential exposure via Homes.com. Tangentially comparable through property data and analytics for real estate professionals, but operates at vastly greater scale and predominantly in commercial rather than appraisal workflows.
• Black Knight (ICE Mortgage Technology): Mortgage and real estate technology platform under Intercontinental Exchange offering property data, origination, and servicing solutions to lenders and servicers. Comparable to Comps USA in serving the lender/bank segment with property data for underwriting, though bundled into a much broader mortgage technology suite.
• CoreLogic: Large-scale property information, analytics, and workflow solutions serving mortgage, real estate, insurance, and capital markets. Overlaps with Comps USA in parcel, sales, and valuation data for appraisers and lenders, but operates as a broad incumbent with portfolio solutions rather than a regional specialist.
• Zillow (Bridge API / ShowingTime+): Consumer-facing real estate marketplace with growing B2B offerings (Bridge API, Follow Up Boss, ShowingTime+) that supply property data and workflow tools to agents and brokerages. Comparable through property data delivery to real estate professionals, but operates at national consumer scale rather than regional data-specialist depth.

Direct peers

• Realtors Property Resource (RPR): NAR-affiliated property data and analytics platform for REALTORS, brokers, and appraisers offering comps, valuations, and market trends. Directly comparable in target customer (real estate professionals, appraisers) and core product (comparable sales, valuation reports), though distributed nationally via the NAR membership model.
• ATTOM Data Solutions: National property data provider offering comparable sales, AVMs, parcel data, and risk analytics to real estate professionals, lenders, and investors. Most directly comparable to Comps USA in product offering (comp search, sales history, property records) and customer base (appraisers, brokers, lenders), but operates at national rather than regional scale.

Emerging players

• HouseCanary: Real estate analytics and valuation platform delivering AVMs, comps, and market forecasts to lenders, investors, and appraisal management companies. Comparable to Comps USA in serving the appraiser/valuation workflow, but differentiated by AI-driven analytics and broader geographic coverage.
• PropMix (formerly Reonomy): Commercial and residential property intelligence platform aggregating ownership, transaction, and market data. Comparable in providing curated property/sales data to real estate professionals, but skews toward CRE/institutional buyers rather than the appraiser persona Comps USA serves.
• RentCast: Cloud-based real estate data and analytics platform offering comps, valuations, and rental estimates to investors, agents, and appraisers. Comparable as a subscription property-data product for real estate professionals, but newer, web-native, and investor-focused rather than appraiser-anchored like Comps USA.

Regional players

• OneKey MLS: Regional MLS covering Long Island, NYC boroughs, and Hudson Valley — overlapping directly with Comps USA's 11-county NY footprint. Provides listing and comparable sales data to REALTORS and appraisers in the same geographic market Comps USA targets, representing the most direct regional substitute for the broker/appraiser user.
