personally, the only factor I used to determine comps is sold listings. What I find funny and a common trend among selling agents now a days is to use current active listings as comps. Using tactics like, "this is the only available listing in this area at this price". Or, "look at these other active listings that are much more expensive" (because they're so over priced nobody is ever going to buy them). Right now there is a stalemate between stubborn sellers that still think oil is at $140/bbl and buyers that are sick of paying ridiculous prices for a piece of land in the middle of the prairies.
