After Repair Value (ARV)

The estimated market value of a property after planned renovations and repairs are completed.

Definition

After Repair Value is the projected market value of a property once it has been fully renovated to comparable market standards. ARV is critical for fix-and-flip and BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) investors who profit from the value uplift created by renovations. ARV is typically estimated using comparable sales of recently renovated properties.

Formula

Maximum Offer (70% Rule) = (ARV × 70%) − Repair Costs

Many investors use the 70% rule: maximum offer equals 70% of ARV minus expected repair costs.

Example

You're considering a fixer-upper. Comparable renovated homes in the area sell for $300,000 (your ARV). Estimated repairs are $40,000. Using the 70% rule, your maximum offer is ($300,000 × 0.70) − $40,000 = $170,000. This builds in margin for holding costs, financing, and profit.
