comp
n.— «In the real-estate industry, they’re known as “comps,” which is short for comparables. If you’re thinking about selling your home or refinancing it, you find comparable homes in your neighborhood that recently sold. That gives you some sense of what your home is worth.» —“Wallace worth the going rate” by Rick Bonnell Charlotee Observer (North Carolina) Oct. 24, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
