What is ARV (after repair value)?

After repair value (ARV) is what a property should sell for after renovations — the number flippers and BRRR investors anchor on before making an offer. A free ARV calculator helps you compare all-in cost (purchase + rehab + holding) to that resale target in seconds.

How to calculate ARV spread

Use the form above, or work it by hand:

Example: flip deal check

Purchase $180,000 · rehab $45,000 · holding $12,000 → all-in $237,000. Expected ARV $280,000 → spread $43,000 (all-in is about 84.6% of ARV). That is thin for a flip after agent fees and contingency — you would negotiate purchase or rehab before proceeding.

ARV is not a Zillow Zestimate. Pull recent sold comps at the finished quality level before you trust any number.

Frequently asked questions

What is after repair value (ARV)?
After repair value (ARV) is the estimated resale price of a property after renovations are complete. Flippers and BRRR investors use ARV to size offers and check whether purchase plus rehab leaves enough spread.
How do you calculate ARV for a flip?
A simple ARV sanity check: add purchase price, rehab budget, and holding or closing costs, then compare that all-in total to your expected resale (ARV). Spread = ARV minus all-in cost. Many investors want all-in near or below 70% of ARV before financing and selling costs.
Is this ARV calculator free?
Yes. This after repair value calculator is free with no account required. For cap rate and cash flow on live Zillow listings, use our free bookmarklet.
What is a good all-in cost vs ARV?
Rules vary by market, but all-in below about 70–75% of ARV is a common starting filter for flips — it leaves room for selling costs, contingency, and profit. Always verify ARV with recent comps, not a single online estimate.
What is the difference between ARV and purchase price?
Purchase price is what you pay for the property today. ARV is what you expect to sell it for after repairs. Your profit depends on the gap between ARV and everything you spend to buy, renovate, hold, and sell.
