Harvey,There are a variety of factors at play, region will play a factor, age of property will play a factor, diminishing returns plays a factor (for instance going from 2nd to 3rd bedroom will be more valuable then 3rd going to 4th) To me the key to to a CMA is get as close of comp as you can when it comes to these factors (square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, age, size of garage, size of yard) Once you start diverting too far it become a bit more of an art then a science.
