For some it's identification of suitable comparatives to the "subject" property. Complete local market knowledge is key plus having a "global" outlook.

I'd say nothing. I don't find anything about doing a CMA hard. Sometimes the comps can be challenging but making CMA's up is the easy part of a day. Most of the material is allready in place & I just have to personalize it.

When there is only one comparable sale in the past 6 months and the other owners in the community have been owners for over 10 years.

In that situation the comp's must be outside the community, making them in essence, no longer comparable properties.
